Repurposing Chromebooks: a general method.

A bit more than a year and a half ago, I bought around 10 cheap Chromebooks to better understand how they can be turned back into regular PCs. Here are the notes I took. I just wanted to remember the overall idea and not a detailed list of step-by-step instructions, as it differs from each model. Basically, I just quickly documented the installation pattern, so I can do it again next time, or teach others to do it.

Maybe this can be useful for others, who are looking for a rough TL;DR process, or are contemplating the idea to do the same and would like an overview of the different main steps.

Safe to resume but might need further maintenance, in which case it will be suspended again.

The guy in front of me on Caltrain works at OpenAI and the fact that he’s spent the last ten minutes on Google writing queries with “site:reddit.com” after them tells me everything I want to know about the state of this industry

Is this a thing yet?
