Most chromebooks can be put into a dev mode(which requires factory reset...) in order to install a new OS on it. I have done it a few times.

being said, with how low power they are, they can't really do much but what chromeos can do.

The early ones were easier. The one I had needed to do some mess with a grounding screw and some other stuff that I forgot (there are websites dedicated to the procedure guidelines and which requires what), and like you say, it's not going to be able to do much anyway. Such a contrast with throwing Kubuntu on an old MacBook, and 10 minutes later it was better than new.
