lazy web: I got a free chromebook, a 2016 model (specifically an HP Chromebook 11 G5 EE (TPN-Q151)).

I have never touched a chromebook before now, and I'd like to use this thing to play videos out the HDMI port.

Any suggestions for how I should do that? Like, upgrade the OS version as much as it goes and keep it mostly stock? install a linux on it? Some combination?

Ideally I'd like to just be running VLC on it

EDIT: Corrected above to HP Chromebook 11 G5 EE

it's also got some accounts on it already which I'm going to need to wipe. No idea how to do that though

okay turns out the answer is just "hit ctrl-alt-shift-r and click yes"

you can tell this OS is optimized for things like schools, you can factory reset the whole machine in one hotkey and one click

@foone you're right about that. If rather go through the settings and find the setting to reset it.
