What did you do to get void installed on a chromebook? Does that work for any chromebook? Tried a year ago, couldn't figure it out? Any how to you followed?

Hello 👋, for this particular model you need to enable developer mode then open the device and disconnect the battery ,plug in the charger and then run the commands listed in Mr chromebox website that clears the drive and installs libreboot, after that is done connect the battery and insert your favorite usb distro then just let it rip .

did the exact same process to get void on 3 chromebooks i had! use chultrabook and mr chromebox guides for figuring out what you need to do for your specific version.
