I think that you mean blowing away the ChromeOS system.

I don't know if that is possible.  I know that this was possible on at
least some x86-based CromeOS clamshells.  The Arm world is less
standardized so it's not a sure thing.  Best to search for others who
have done this.

In my modest experience most x86 boxes sold with Windows can be easily
switched to Linux.  That's a better direction to go for Linux on bare
metal.

I have no experience will galliumOS.
