I assume that the writer is correct.

- jrockway 12y agoAll the details are here: http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/developer-mode http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/d... Depending on your device, you unlock things by pressing Power-Refresh; that switches the device to unlocked mode. You can continue using ChromeOS, build your own ChromiumOS, or install another OS. You can also kill off the bootloader completely. I've never done that before, but I believe the linked doc describes the process. I'm not exactly sure how to install Ubuntu, but the hardware is not going to stop you and never has. The Pixel-specific instructions are here, though this is for the old revision and I'm not sure what (if anything) has changed: http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-for-chrome-os-devices/chromebook-pixel#TOC-Developer-Mode http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-fo...
