I literally did some web dev work on my Samsung Chromebook Series 5 550 (released 2012) last week. It's running linux[1] at this point (since it's EOL), and is a little slow, but it's still perfectly functional for running vscode and a local webserver. (As others have pointed out, browsing the reset of the bloated web is a pain, though) [1] https://galliumos.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

I apologise in advance; I have no idea what is causing this issue with your Chromebook. I had hoped I could be of assistance, but I am unable to.

The chances of getting Nouveau working well on older Nvidia hardware are essentially zero. There are legal issues with firmware redistribution. > Little hope of reclocking becoming available for GM20x, GP10x and GV100 as firmware now needs to be signed by NVIDIA to have the necessary access From https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

I have just finished switching from normal VGA to VESA for my OS MaxOS. And although this will be far away in the future, I do hope to not only have a 1080p display but also working on the hardware of my main machine. So I began looking at the wiki and found the https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/ project that aims to implement open-source NVIDIA drivers and was wondering if there were any hobby OSes that you know...

If that doesnt work you could also look at the Nouveau driver: https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/ which should work with this card. Source: 11 months ago

The drivers that contain 'xorg' or 'nouveau' in the name are non-proprietary, or free, or open-source drivers. They are maintained by freedesktop.org. Source: about 1 year ago
