You can do this on SOME Chromebooks. It'd be great if you could do this on any Chromebook!
There's a whole pile of AC700 Chromebooks around, with no upgrade path as far as I know, at least if you don't want to be p4wn3d.

For a while, there were, but they disappeared, and now it's a web of 404s and obsolete documents. Most recommended chrubuntu, but (1) that relies on obsolete ChromeOS components, which introduce security issues (2) someone said that's now dead too.
I'll see if Chromium builds for it. Thanks for the pointer. There's a lot of AC700's out there.
