Remove Chrome OS and install Linux (possibly).The kind of lock down Google has put on Chromebooks reinforces my belief that Google hates Linux.
It’s a closed source, propriety OS and it is locked down, for security reasons. Even many simple Linux commands won’t work by default. It has a hidden terminal, but it doesn’t let you do many things. The answer is that Chrome OS is not really Linux, even though it is based on the Linux Kernel. So do we really need to install Linux separately? You might already know that Chrome OS is based on the Linux kernel. This detailed guide provides step-by-step instructions with screenshots on how to install Linux on Chromebook.
