Is there anything I can do with an EOL device

System Details

  • Device: Acer Chromebook R11
  • OS: ChromeOS
  • Firmware Type: Stock
  • Firmware Version: Google_Cyan.7287.57.213

Summary of the Issue

I’m trying to get Linux onto a chromebook that’s been rotting in my room for a few years now barely getting used and “Install/Update RW_LEGACY Firmware” option is is grayed out and if I try to run it anyway it says EOL devices aren’t supported, is there anything I can do to get linux on it or am I screwed. I’m completely new to Linux and modding in general any help is greatly appreciated.

Why not just flash full UEFI?

No point in keeping ChromeOS on an EOL device.
