Can't you put a normal linux on it?
If I can remember correctly, the bootloader is really funky. It can probably be done (considering that ChromeOS is a flavour of Linux).
It can absolutely be done, I've been running uefi modified Chromebooks for a while, my 12th gen intel Chromebook even runs windows now.

Neat.
