You can boot into developer mode, install chromebrew https://github.com/chromebrew/chromebrew
You can install Firefox now!!
https://mrchromebox.tech/ you can also install linux with coreboot. Works great on mine
Works great on my x86 ones, Im on arm currently ( it’s quicker than the others)
What change? ChromeOS is getting split into , so wiping it and getting pure Linux should be much easier in the future.
MY CB is eol, so chromebrew is my best alternative. Chrome is sending unique identifiers to websites soon, I don’t need to run firefox because Im stuck on chrome 77, just posting for posterity
Can’t you put a normal linux on it?
My current one? No, it’s a cb5-311 with 16gb of storage, I could run an older arch, but only leaves 3-4gb after the OS install since no methods replace chromeos on this model.
