    And if you open it up and unplug the battery, then boot off the charger that disables the write protect and you can install actual linux, though a lot of chromebooks have unique hardware that might not be supported, particularly audio IME.

    I used to have a dell chromebook 11, and with bitmap fonts it was actually a pretty slick little computer for <$100.

      HWAT??

      I’ve got an old one that I am trying that on first thing tomorrow. I assume you can plug the battery back in afterwards?

          Yeah, did some research and it ended up being a screw that needed removed. Regardless, I didn’t know this was possible at all so I’m quite happy
