How reliable is the process of wiping ChromeOS and running Linux? I used crostini for awhile, but I was worried about bricking the laptop if I dumped ChromeOS completely.
- toast0 4y agoIf you go the whole way and install a 3rd party firmware, it should be good. You're unlikely to brick the laptop anyway, but if you rely on the Google firmware to boot other operating systems, it's easy to accidentally push the wrong button and wipe the drive during boot, and I recall reading about some models that did bad things if the battery fully ran down and they lost firmware battery ram storage.
