This is where I would start. https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/docs/getting-started.html I have installed the full UEFI ROM for various Chromebooks from this site which allows a full OS install. I tried installing OpenBSD on a couple but had issues. Ubuntu or Fedora worked fairly well with occasional issues like no sound on my Chromebook Go but that is a known issue. Bryan
