Anyone running Linux or ChromiumOS on a Chromebook ? / Looking for an efficient Laptop or Tablet
Anyone using an (ARM) Chromebook with ChromiumOS or Linux? - programming.dev
I am. My Asus Chromebook aged out of support, so I put PopOS on it using this guide. Luckily, I had a compatible board, so I didn't have to physically alter anything:

Runs pretty decently, although boot up is rather slow.
Media playback has been just fine for me, both browser streaming and local files via VLC. Battery is a little harder for me to say because my battery, according to ChromeOS, was at 85% health, but I've watched 4-5 hours of YouTube straight one day when I was sick, and I think it was around 20% when I woke up and plugged in from 100%.
I run NixOS on an HP x360 14c. It's pretty great tbh, batyery life is fantastic, and the computet is surprisingly powerful.
Get mrchromebox' firmware on a chromebook and it actually becomes a useful computer.
Nice! Does it have extensible storage?
Unfortunately no.
