Running Ubuntu on the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet
Summary
Valentin Haudiquet chronicles his weekend project to run Ubuntu on the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet, moving from ChromeOS to postmarketOS and then to a bootable Ubuntu image via Depthcharge and U-Boot. The post dives into the Chromebook boot chain, display and memory challenges, kernel/module issues, and the patchwork effort to upstream changes for MT8183/krane support, including a real-world test of an AI-assisted workflow. It also discusses the feasibility and governance of AI-assisted hardware bring-up.
