Like others have said, once you install the Mr Chromebox stuff, you can technically run any flavor of linux you like.
The major issue you'll run into is support for wifi, the proper keyboard layout and audio. The GalliumOS team has built a custom kernel for a range of Chromebooks, though. I believe a lot of their work will be merged with the main kernel in the future, but its not there yet.
I run Gallium3-Beta (Xubuntu 18.04) on an old Toshiba Chromebook 2, and it runs like a dream (considering the hardware) with around 8 - 10 hours on the battery.
