All of these machines make for decent Linux laptops. I picked up an EOL Chromebook for $35 last year and installed Debian on it. Decent little machine. Not terribly fast but very useable.
Good to know. Is it still a PITA to make the firmware let you change the OS?
These are Linux laptops. But yes, they'll work better if you put your preferred distro on them.
