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.
Most modern ones it’s just commands you have to run. You can usually find an easy walk-though on the MrChromebox website. I haven’t seen one that required a jumper or anything in a LONG time.

These are Linux laptops. But yes, they’ll work better if you put your preferred distro on them.
Good to know. Is it still a PITA to make the firmware let you change the OS?
