Would it be possible to install Linux on this HP Chromebook Plus?

This is the laptop in question. It has an x86 processor so basically any distro should work on it. However, it is still a Chromebook which likely means Google fuckery in the BIOS. But it's great value for the money (can get it $300 off at Costco) and if I can plop Linux on to it then I'd love it.

Hm, website indicates that it should work but that there may be no audio. Might be a no-go then :(

Use a distro with the latest kernel, like ubuntu, to have higher chances for this to be supported.
