I thought the Pixel C bootloader was looked. Do you have any pointers to instructions on how to boot Ubuntu on this machine?

The problem with ARM architectures is the lack of a standard boot system.

It is locked. There is a switch like with the Chromebooks, but to reach it you have to disassemble it. OTOH rooting and running custom kernels works. Not ideal but it works for some use-cases.

edit: The Pixel C runs on Coreboot of course.

Yep, but has anyone successfully installed Linux (aside from ChromeOS, obviously)?

UEFI is the standard firmware these days, at least for ARM servers.
