From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Some reason I have Chromebook Lenovo Thinka Pad 11e saved in my notes
Iirc it's something that isn't too difficult to unlock and get Linux on it, otherwise I wouldn't have considered it.
Don't Chromebooks require doing "something something chroot" or whatever to get Linux installed on it? Or has that not been the case since 2013? Because my last Chromebook was in 2013 and it was a pain in my (sadly not yet open-source) ass to install and set-up.
Admittedly I've never done it, but my 5mins of LLM'ing said
chrootis only needed when keeping chromeOS on the machine side by side.So, when dual-booting?
Exactly
Thanks. :)
