That’s preposterous. Even the new ARM Macs let you install Linux (although they don’t supply any drivers, leave the devs to reverse engineer everything, which means the only currently supported Linux distro is Asahi Linux (Arch). But thats still better than locking the BIOS/whatever bootloader Chromebooks use.)
Even more preposterous given ChromeOS is basically a Linux distro and would benefit from general Linux users and devs adopting/supporting their hardware
Bought a cheap laptop with chrome os. Wouldn’t let me install Linux. I returned the laptop.

Let’s just say I was frustrated.
Fyi: An official “Asahi spin” of fedora is coming up. It’s going to be released later this year, if I remember correctly.
Later this august, actually. Yes, I am aware of it. I really like Fedora, so I’m going to give it a spin ASAP.

Don’t you just have to take out the write protect screw or whatever and flash a new bios?
Not sure. It was about a year ago.
