Anyone install Linux on a Chromebook? - Lemmy.ca

How much of a PIA is it to install Linux on a Chromebook? I’m looking for a small laptop and Chromebooks are the perfect size.

For my Acer C740, I recall it being really simple.

The instructions were easy to understand and only had a few steps.

I removed a physical write-protect screw, booted to developer mode or something, ran a command in a terminal, and then it either flashed a new BIOS or I booted a Linux USB and flashed a new BIOS.

Either way, it’s a regular computer now.

I can pop in any USB drive and boot whatever EFI-compatible OS I want.
