Support for Chromebooks which need special ALSA UCM configurations
Hi (:
i own / manage a few chromebooks (with coreboot & linux) and would love to get bazzite or other universal blues running.
on the intel side (at least the ones i own) need special ALSA UCM configurations: https://github.com/WeirdTreeThing/alsa-ucm-conf-cros
i wonder if there might be a way to get them supported ? :D
with kinds regards <3

the easiest way is probably to create your custom image using either https://github.com/ublue-os/image-template (supported by team) or https://blue-build.org/ (easier but third partyish)

The easiest way to build your own desktop Linux images.
The BlueBuild project creates accessible tools for you to create, configure & build custom images of atomic Fedora distributions.
the not so easy way is creating rpm package from it, someone did for the upstream repo https://github.com/Zelaf/alsa-ucm-conf-rpm

that looks like i need to become a linux dev 🙈
im just a GUI user and copy paste monkey :P
currently i tried this approach : https://forum.chrultrabook.com/t/installing-audio-drivers-on-atomic-fedora-silverblue-kinonite/1966/5
but i feel like a one time installation might not be the safest choice in regards to stability especially when the device is not in my hands :/
if you arent that technical blue build is pretty easy
the only requirement is can use github/git
hm .. maybe ill take a look.
so far after i copy pasted the steps to get a lokal rpm with the needed alsa ucm stuff it looks like its working.
i just fear that ill one day (when i probably are not in reach) get a call that some thing is not working anymore XD
if you got rpm working it should be fine
its only pain if you need to constantly update it
i hope not 😅
