Re:so can i revive my old chromebook then? (Score 1)

I've a Chromebook that's perfectly functional...just utterly unsafe now because the O/S hasn't seen a security patch in 2 years, and the browser version is old enough that there's some modern tech features around css, js, and PWAs that I don't have.

Rather than worry about doing this to an old PC, I'd rather just get that Chromebook functional again.

This is most likely going to be based on Neverware's Cloudready Chromium OS. I too have old Intel based Chromebooksthat became EOL, I flashed a Bios on them from MrChromebox and installed Cloudready on them. And yes they became functional chromebooks again that got security updates without the chrome branding.
