I have already disabled write protection, and got mrchromebox working, but when I tried downloading from my thumb drive it did detect the drive, but said "no firmware files detected". I tried both Etcher and Rufus but nothing would work. Then eventually rebooted the device, so now I'm on a screen I don't know how to navigate, and don't know how to get my firmware files detected

Sorry, that I couldn't answer, I'm a C# and PHP programmer irl and I'm pretty busy.
I will look up a solution for you and then I will write it to you đ

MrChromeBox usualy expects USB 2.0 UEFI-bootable FAT32 GPT USB thumb drive(old better).
It might not even see the thumb drive, had a case with a gaming desktop not seeing thumbdrive because it's to new. I tried 4 thumb drives and only the 4th one finaly upgraded my UEFI.
Those UEFIes are really picky when it comes to thumb drives.
I don't know what you set there, I'll check it up later and give you further instructions.

I'll see what thumb drives I can find, thank you

I wouldnât recommend Mint Cinnamon to you, especially on low-end hardware like the Intel Pentium N3060.
Itâs a heavier desktop environment and uses more RAM.
You should choose between MATE and Xfce editions, which are much lighter and better suited for this kind of hardware.
I have a low-end laptop myself (Lenovo IdeaPad 100S, Intel Celeron, 2 GB RAM) running 
Lubuntu, and the system doesnât freeze because of the CPU, itâs due to limited RAM.
After boot, my system uses around 600 MB of RAM, and I can only have a few applications open at once, but itâs still usable.
With Cinnamon, youâd likely hit that limit much faster, and multitasking would feel noticeably slower.
For example, when I tested Mint Cinnamon (Zara), RAM usage was already around 1.2 GB after boot.
I regularly test new releases of Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Debian, and I write down my test results.
I specialize in these distributions.
Iâve also tried other distributions like Fedora, but Iâm not as familiar with their tools and terminal environment.
If you still need help, feel free to reach out I should be available on Sunday or on Monday.
Unfortunately, I wonât have time today or tomorrow, as Iâll be programming PHP during that time.
