Depthboot: your Chromebook, your way

Choose between a variety of common Linux distributions and desktop environments to create a bootable image for any 64-bit Chromebook.

Due to licensing restraints, Depthboot cannot be distributed as an iso. Instead, it has to be built locally.

You can alternatively use EupneaOS which offers pre-built ISOs.

Depthboot vs Mainline

(Mainline = stock, unmodified Linux distribution)

Mainline Linux:

  • Requires either replacing firmware completely (UEFI) or changing a part of it (rw_legacy). Not all devices have both options and there is a slight risk of bricking the Chromebook.
  • Some hardware may not work (touchscreen, touchpad, etc.)
  • Audio is mostly unsupported.

Depthboot:

  • Requires no modifications to firmware.
  • Hardware support matches ChromeOS.
  • Extensive audio support, with active development to bring further support.

Credit

  • Depthboot is based on Breath by MilkyDeveloper. Breath was active from Apr 2021 until its archival in late Aug 2022.
  • All Eupnea Project icons were made by Inderix.
