Boot directly to Mint on a Chromebook?

Post by Brahhella »

I recently installed Mint MATE1.26.0 (64 bit) on an acer chromebook 14, replacing the Chrome OS.

Right now, I have to bypass the OS check screen and go through seaBIOS every time I start the computer. Is there any way to make the computer bypass this process and boot from the hard drive automatically? Or is this the price google makes you pay for converting their laptops?

Welcome to the forum, Brahhella.

Did you use the advice on the MrChromebox.tech website before installing Linux Mint?
