    It can absolutely be done, I’ve been running uefi modified Chromebooks for a while, my 12th gen intel Chromebook even runs windows now.

    https://mrchromebox.tech/#devices Nearly every Intel Chromebook is supported and once flashed they boot like traditional computers.

      Was about to comment this! My Chromebook still runs chrome os but once support runs out it’ll be getting straight Linux

          Honestly laziness. Setting up a Linux vm works fine for light Linux apps, and ssh/rdp does everything that needs more processing power.

          Given the Google web-drm thing I probably need to start looking at wiping it and putting Linux or FreeBSD or SOMETHING else but just haven’t felt like wiping a working system yet and reinstalling everything.
