Chrubix provides secure GNU/Linux for ARM-based Chromebooks. Tails would be the best alternative if you own an Intel-based Chromebook or laptop. This project's code base is licensed under the GPL and is available for free.

QUICK START

If you don't own an ARM-based Chromebook, buy one. If you already own one, follow these simple instructions.

• Make sure your laptop is OFF.
• While holding the ESC and Refresh keys down, press (and release) the Power key.
• Count to 10.
• Press Control-D.
• Press Enter.
• Walk away. Come back in 10 minutes.

2 Log into ChromeOS.

• At the power-on screen, press Control-D.
• Log in to your Chromebook as usual. I assume you've configured your GMail account and WiFi network.
• Open your web browser.
• Press Control-Alt-T.
• Type shell .

3 Install Chrubix.

• Insert an SD card into the port on the left-hand side of the computer.
• At the hash ('#') prompt, type the following:
• cd; wget bit.do/that; bash that
• Wait. The computer will reboot after 15-30 minutes.
