Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Google didnt write ChromeOS. ChromeOS is linux under the hood. Just access to linux is blocked. So there is no need to actually install linux, you metely take away the block.
But lld Chromebooks will have old linux when not propperly updated. And ChromeOS is a stripped linux version. Not every feature default in thecdebians and ubuntus is available.
