Someone gave me a Hisense C11 Chromebook and I’m wondering if there’s absolutely anything I can do with it. It seems like a piece of junk and the Linux stuff I’ve seen for Chromebooks specify that they don’t work with the ARM processor. Is there any distro that would work on it? Any other ideas about how to repurpose it?

Note: I don’t have direct access to an Ethernet cable/router for setup. Also don’t have the most technical knowhow.

    The biggest roadblock will be whether the bootloader will allow another OS. You should be able to search xda forums for your device as a start.

    Linux can be installed on ARM, no problem.
