Acer C720 chrome book driver support

Hi All,

I know this hardware is very old, I want to run Linux on it. I came across the blog of Jeff Hoogland and I found that the default Bodhi Linux iso image does not have drivers for all peripherals. Also, I am not able to find bodhi Linux iso for Acer c720.

Does Bodhi Linux 5.1.0 has the required Linux driver for Acer c720? If not where I can find iso for Acer c720, older or new version?

Regards,
Chetan

Does it have to be Bodhi?
AFAIK various Linuxes can be fully installed on that particular Chromebook.
Search for "Mr Chromebox".

Gallium is aimed specifically at chromebooks. I haven't installed it on my old C720, but I've been considering it, just for a learning experience.
