You know ChromeOS is Linux, right? It’s super easy to put a different distro on. You’re totally up for it, a few hours max and you’re good to go.

How do you do this? When I was putting Linux on Chromebook you had to do firmware mods that entailed taking the laptop apart to get it to work properly.

Yeah, some have a screw that turns off the firmware lock.

Don’t they lock down the bootloader on some Chromebooks?

Ive tried to update it several times in the past using the linux installer that comes built in, yet each time it has failed. I need to open it up and then find some files for it.
