Linux apps will work with the built in enabler but not a full Linux GUI without the same bootloader unlock
It's a locked-in encrypted bootloader, so unless they let you in or you can mod the BIOS physically or by overriding the chip with a programmer there's not a whole lot to do there unfortunately

I reflashed mine fairly easily last week, booting Debian 12 now. Do some reading on mrchromebox.tech. I used Suzy Q cable to unlock write protection in spi flash chip, but you can also do it fairly easily by just putting Chromebook into developer mode and then boot with battery unplugged from motherboard.
I also overwrote bootloader with full open source UEFI, so can dual boot windows and Linux, but if you just want to dual boot Linux and Chrome OS, the current firmware supports that after you disable write protect.
For those interested, this is the NVME drive I used after wiping Chrome OS from the device.
