    My 'new' refurbished Chromebook no longer updates, ( since 2021) but I'd like to modify it or figure out how to install Linux apps, and I need some help. I've already removed the WP screw and swapped out the 16GB SSD for 128GB. Can I install another version of Chrome OS that still updates, or is this impossible? Can I try SeaBIOS and run a few operating systems and an external hard drive instead?

      Unfortunately no.. those Chromebooks don't have the necessary subsystems to make that work.
      There's a way to load another image, on the C720, that will allow you to run Android apps but it's not a process that I'll be covering (since I don't have one of these Chromebooks).

      You can get a list of installed Flatpaks by running - flatpak list --app.
      Then, to uninstall an app, just run - flatpak uninstall App-ID
      App-ID is the ID of the application you got from the first command.
