Is there a "FydeProbe" app or set of Linux/Windows scripts that will tell you which variant to use?

:pushpin:Question Description I have an old HP ProBook 4520s laptop with an Intel i7-620m processor. I’ve tried using the version 19 legacy variant, and while it appears (via the USB stick LED) that something is happening, nothing shows up on the screen. ChromeOS Flex boots up, but has graphics issues later on in the install (weird blanket weave pattern full screen). I’m wondering if there’s a script for Linux that interprets lscpu and other commands to see if the hardware is supported. Linux Mint 22.1 works just fine, if a bit slow.
