Title
How to convert a generic Chromebook to Linux OS
Introduction
You can perform this on most any chromebook not just sunsetted ones that are no longer taking updates from google. I am going to provide links and info for two I am familiar with how to unprotect the roms for. Others can feel free to add additional ones as they see fit (I will require 500 reputation points to participate in edits though).
