Hello! I just went through the process of getting PopOS onto a chromebook. It went pretty smoothly and appears to be functioning which is great news. However the drive is soldered to the board, there are no slots for a second drive, and it’s only 30gb in size.

Depending on how my friend wants to use it this may be fine (like if it is going to be a glorified browser). I’m trying to figure out a good way around it though. My current thought is to get one of those really small USB keys and basically use it like a semi permanent hard drive.

Any thoughts on potential other solutions, or suggestions for USB keys that would work well for this? Is there anything about Linux/Pop that would make the USB solution a bad idea? Or maybe a good beginner friendly distro with lighter requirements than Pop that still works well with chromebook hardware?
