Yes I too look nostalgically look back on my games having nothing but beep audio because I didn't have one of three sound cards my chosen game decided to support
Uh, you don't have to work at Google on order to do that. Most Chromebooks can be unlocked to work with Linux with a little bit of work. And you wouldn't be at risk of going to jail for that. Worst that could happen is you void your warranty. But it's not a "real crime" or anything like that.
LG used to do this in the US. I remember my G Pad 8.3 not being able to get Android 4.4 because of an error that "Device is suspected in rooting.[sic]"
Honestly, if it had good drivers and proper UEFI support, I would use a laptop with a Mediatek CPU. Most of my workflow is either web-based or already supports ARM.
