what if I, for example, had a job in Google and I liked Linux so much I install Ubuntu on my Chromebook, would that be illegal/send me to prison?? Or, if I had the job, would I be kicked?? I like Chromebooks because they are so smol and nice. But I don’t know if it’s legal to install a Linux distro on it. Thank you!!

      I know ChromeOS is Linux but I want Ubuntu, but if I’m honest, I would be ok with only using ChromeOS!!

        Well, then the answer is obvious, no? You can, but there can be some compatibility issues. And changing your operating system is not a criminal offense. As far as Google internal policies, you would have to ask them.
