Normal user space should work as it does on any Arm platform. I assume
this uses google's
"Hana" mainboard design like Acer R13 and some Lenovo Chromes, which
was only added
with Linux-5.8 and presumably won't work in the standard Debian
kernel. I think you can just
use the original ChromeOS kernel though.
The biggest problem is likely going to be the GPU, as there are no
open source drivers for
PowerVR.
