Sure, many of those people probably weren’t going to use it anyway, but plenty were. I installed it on my daughter’s Chromebook that she was forced to use for school.

Sorry… are you suggesting people install Linux on their kids’ school Chromebooks? You know we don’t own them, right?
As long as you reset them before returning them it should be ok ;p
