Pete,
I've installed Pentoo on a few laptops. The best results were from following

Dear Pete,
As per your question, I can suggest 2 ways, how I installed, and whichever
you like:
1. Kali Linux OS from Live Disk has in built GRC 3.6 and HackRF easily

2. Ubuntu 14 with clean OS and PyBombs will get you all needed packages
(HP)..

SDR requires some decent computing power, nothing crazy, but not bottom
of the line. I'd recommend at least an i5 core and 8 gig of Ram, 16
would be better but you can always upgrade later. Video cards and SDR

I can confirm that I have run pentoo on laptops, multiple ones, before.
I've run it on Lenovo X series tablet laptops, HP Envy series laptops, in
VM's.
PErhaps if you elaborated on what problems you are having, you might get
some better help than just claiming it doesn't work?
Just saying.

Not a typical use case.and dont buy one just for hackrf as theres
better options but I've gotten everything working on both the HP 14 x86_64
chromebook and the samsung ARM Gen 1 11 chromebook using crouton to run
ubuntu in a chroot then using the build-gnuradio script. Pretty sure I had

If you already have a decent laptop or good workstation you can just run any
Debian or derivative in a VM on your current machine. I’ve just set up the
latest Ubuntu inside a Virtual Box and am not having any data rate problems
communicating with the hackrf (read no Ou/Uus) in GRC. Only
