In reply to Andy Z.. So why not simply replace ChromeOS with Ubuntu or Linux Mint or some other real Linux? My reason for reading this article was to find out how to do exactly that, as I know it is possible.

Yup, cripple verified boot’s security features. That’s a great idea.

Hey Andy,
I’m to the point of “try something else…” during installation and it asks if I want to unmount drives in order to be able to delete, add to them, etc.

I selected yes, then all the partitions show up, but /dev/sda isn’t there. Judging from the size of all the partitions it’s only showing my Chromebook SSD with 15gb.

There are only a bunch of different /dev/mmcblk0p1,p2,p3 etc.

Any ideas on this?

You installed Ubuntu. Would it be possible to install Linux Mint with Cinnamon in the same manner?
