A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/ provides custom coreboot firmware for a variety of ChromeOS devices. Once you've flashed it on your Chromebook, you should be able to just install Linux on it
Cool. I'll do some research from there. Ironically, I wish Google still worked for basic queries.
Neat, saw this just after I posted to the thread. Gonna bookmark this!
You'll also probably want to bookmark this: https://docs.chrultrabook.com/docs/installing/post-install.html#general-qol-fixes
The Chrultrabook project makes the distro run a bit smoother once it's installed by providing fixes for the audio stack and custom keyboard layouts to make the top row of keys work properly among other things
I'll second this, seemed to work without any issues. You can even install ChromeOS Flex on it if you still want to use a Chromebook after they stop getting updates!
