hi, everything works fine until battery reach critical level and Toshiba shuts down. after I plug power, dual boot screen appears, but won’t load gallium. this happened few times now.(like 5-6 times) I have to install gallium all over again, every time.

In reply to Magnus Hanberg. It would, actually. I have the EXACT same Chromebook. Mind you, i'm only 11 and already coding my Chromebook on my own. So, yes. It does work. Good Luck! :D

Hey, the way I do it, you have to use esc+F3+Power to run gallium OS. That takes a long time. Is there any other way that you can do this? I know you can run different scripts, then use Shift+crtl+alt+F1/F2 to change it. So, any other way to dual-boot?

Would this also work with the Acer Chromebook 14 CB3-431?

Thanks for the write up; I’m installing this on my CB35-C3335 model and this really helped cut down on researching all of the information out there.
