It will most likely not work because: https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/rockchip/asus-chromebook-flip-c100p The hardware is locked so that you can only boot the Chrome kernel (unless somebody knows a workaround). Even a Linux distro will be a problem, because the userspace will have to be compatible with the kernel. Back in 2012, I struggled to install Slackware ARM on a similar Chromebook and then I gave up (there might be traces of it on the Slackware-arm mailing list archives). -- Ottavio Caruso
