Dumb question -- is this guide related to reMarkable gadget?

Yeah, it's about installing an alternative OS called Parabola. http://www.davisr.me/projects/parabola-rm/

Yes, Parabola GNU/Linux-libre may be used as a replacement OS for the device.

I put up a project page with a demo video, this manual, and distribution downloads: http://www.davisr.me/projects/parabola-rm/

Oh sure, you could run this in a chroot without a problem as long as you use the kernel with deferred-IO mode enabled. In fact, that's what I did when I posted on this on the /r/RemarkableTablet subreddit a few months ago.
