the acer c720 has 2gb ram. I don't know what the best setting is but I
put something like 'mem=1g' on the grub line and obviously can bump it
up much further but right now I'm having too much fun playing.
installing an ssd card entails breaking the warranty seal; may do so
anyway. or just proceed to installing on the present card.
the trick will be, I think, getting the touchpad to work. I abhor
touchpads but still want it to work. also there are only two usb
ports.
have misgivings about this machine but it makes a great fiddle for
now.

greetings!
for the interest of it I purchased an acer chromebook c720. I like
some aspects of it, especially the quick booting, but like some less
(the screen) or find disquieting (dependence on the 'cloud').
I had trouble getting it to boot into Linux (other than chromeos of
course) but finally got Bodhi and Linux Mint to run. the trick was to
set the kernel parameter for memory.

Hello,
May ask what you mean with "set the kernel parameter for memory"? I suppose
you mean setting parameters at the grub level?
