This is the laptop in question. It has an x86 processor so basically any distro should work on it. However, it is still a Chromebook which likely means Google fuckery in the BIOS. But it’s great value for the money (can get it $300 off at Costco) and if I can plop Linux on to it then I’d love it.
For this price you can get a high-specs Thinkpad
Lmao, these are Canadian dollars, remember. Either way, it’s $300 cheaper at Costco than the price listed on HP.
Yes you’ll be fine.
Don’t buy chromebook, but if you’re convinced it’s the right choice you’ll be fine.
Yes
Technically it already runs linux
I am almost certain that the OP was asking about standard GNU/Linux ecosystem borrowed from the desktop, not just some OS that happened to be build on top of modification of Linux kernel.
I know
