Re: [Trisquel-users] Free Software compatible laptop?

No, at least not this time. The reason why Google has chosen to go this way  
is because he wanted to have chromebooks with the quickest boot times,  
fool-free (if the system is screwed up, the BIOS detects it and can  
automatically fix it even if you bought and assembled a completely new HDD,  
by restoring the system from a previously created system recovery USB key).  
Chromebooks was not designed to be used with any other operating system other  
than Google Chrome OS, but Google does not prevents users from doing that.  
Conversely, he supports doing that. In the latest model of Chromebook (the  
"Pixel") the developers figured out how to make other users possible to boot  
from an image file so that alternative operating systems (like GNU/Linux) can  
be installed. Unfortunatelly, this can be done only on the "Pixel" the moment  
(and possibly all the later models after the "Pixel"), and on previous models  
only by installing ChrUbuntu.
