Multimedia workstation setup on a Chromebook for a child

favorite












My nine year old daughter is developing an interest in making short stop motion animation videos. I would like to install Ubuntu on a Chromebook along with GIMP and a basic video editor.



I would appreciate guidance in the following areas:




  • Distro/flavor needs to be lightweight enough to run on Chromebook hardware and have the necessary drivers available.


  • System needs to be intuitive for a nine year old. Her primary OS use is Chrome OS at school and Android on her devices. Zero command line experience.


  • I have to be able to set this up. My grand total Linux desktop experience is 6 months dual booting Ubuntu MATE 16.04.



Thanks in advance for your help.
