You can try, but you won't get Linux or Android subsystems.
I found out early on that if you have multiple logged-in users on a Chromebook, only the first one gets to run Linux/Android. Those apps will crash and fail silently for the other users.
Acer Support and Google Support were absolutely stumped by this, and they wanted me to RMA my device.

But no, it is a design limitation. (Note that article's 3 years old and it's still design-limited.)
Also, there are limitations around "Enterprise" controlled accounts. You can create them as a user without the device itself becoming "Enrolled", but be careful, because the first user you create on a Chromebook becomes the administrator forever (like an Android phone). So I had to Powerwash a couple of times after finding these things out.
