You just have to Flash coreboot, I have three chromebooks deployed with family, one with mint and two with Endeavour. Even Touch and audio drivers work for those specific models (Acer Santa and Asus Babytiger).
I got GalliumOS onto an old chromebook last year. It was a bit of a fight and there are a couple parts if you mess up it’s possible to brick it entirely. Gallium was specifically for chromebooks, it’s been discontinued last I knew, and getting a different os in there sounds even more painful to me… But yeah you can cram Linux into one!
I mean its free. Installer are incredible easy. Steam says 90% of games are compatible. Libreoffice has all the features.
The last straw are manufactures delivering hardware with M$ bullshit preinstalled.
You can actually buy Linux computers from dell and Lenovo and they’re even cheaper because you don’t pay for the Microsoft license
Cheaper? Nah I want quality. And for the best, you have to pay more. Nothing is for free. /s
Yeah, that’s not a straw, though. It’s like a redwood. A forest of redwoods.
You can technically buy a Chromebook instead. Apparently they kick up a real fuss if you try to install your own OS on it though, Not that I’ve tried.
