> Not very good. Asus chromebook has a locked boot loader, so it seems to only boots Google signed OS.
If this is true, then "Not very good" would still be specific to the ASUS model (I don't know much about the ASUS); other chromebook models do better. Even if true, of course, the solution is obvious: don't buy the ASUS chromebook; it has few distinguishing features anyway, and then the problem becomes self-correcting over time.
Linus himself, for instance, uses a Chromebook Pixel as his laptop, and he most certainly cares about which kernel it runs... :]
