Does anyone know if I can buy or make a Chromebox, it would need to drive 2 monitors - 4K - if possible I would like the monitors to be at 120 Hertz to reduce eye fatigue-. I would like this for an internet work station for consuming media and browsing web pages and email. I would have one monitor vertical and one monitor horizontal. After two years over running a OLD 27 inch iMac with chromium OS on it at 1440p as my daily driver I would like to build an upgrade or purchasing upgrade. I found with the i7 32 gigs ram it it just power through web pages no lag :) - it's Overkill but it Powers through everything with no waiting, so is this Overkill-.

I have a chromebook and I've got Linux working. I unlocked it with SeaBios (it's a custom firmware). I installed Arch Linux (you know I hate Arch, but it's the best solution by far for a chromebook). I think that this project is a good idea, but they are going to have problems because of the modified Linux Kernel that Chrome OS uses.
I think the best solution with these Chromebooks is to just unlock them and install Arch, It fixes all the issues you have. I didn't have any issues with media keys, it recognized them as -F keys- and the sound works great as well.

I used your method for putting windows 11 on a older computer using dism I was able to do with an official image just make sure when you extract the index wim from the install.esd make sure you use the option /compress: recovery not /compress:max because windows 11 wims are weird if you use max when you try to put it on a flash drive you'll keep getting an error saying it's too large even though it's not at least according to properties

I think you can make a small and good video series about using low-end hw for gaming, with added flavor of linux or windows debloating here and there. Down from chromebooks to celerons, mybe up to the ryzen apu laptops(which are not that low, i know, but they have their own -first world problems-).

I'd recommend waiting for newer APUs though which come out this year or looking for a Steam Deck and similar devices. Having a lower target resolution could have much more benefits in gaming. You could also try to scale up from 720p to 1080p on a chromebook, I assume.

I got a Chromebook with Google Stadia preinstalled. I tried it out but I don't have a good enough Internet connection for it to work well. Stadia has been somewhat moribund lately anyway.

I'd rather just buy a regular gaming laptop and run Linux on that.
Acer Nitro AN515-57 15- with Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS and it's running amazing using the Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS NVIDIA ISO
