[GTALUG] Linux on Chromebook

[Michael Galea]

I am hoping to tap the wisdom of the list.  I'm going traveling and I
don't want to lug around my 5.2 pound T420. Not on this trip.

If I buy a cheap refurb Chromebook from Best Buy or Canada Computers:
- Will I have luck wiping ChromeOS and installing Debian? Can I still
encrypt the disk?
- If instead I just run Linux on Chromebook, can I run a wireguard VPN?
- Can anyone recommend a minimum spec level for the machine?
