    Even if you manage to get the chromebook into developer mode and put a new BIOS to install Linux through USB theres something baout the chromebook firmware that doesn’t like it. I installed Zorin on my personal chromebook and after 2 weeks the hard drive got randomly wiped.

      It could also just be Zorin since somehow despite literally just being an Ubuntu reskin it manages to be buggier than pure Ubuntu.
