I installed coreboot on my Acer C710-2856 and wiped out ChromeOS years ago. I recently came back to the Chromebook I had collecting dust after my more newer laptop kicked the bucket. After replacing the dead CMOS battery to get it booting again. I find it surprising how much can still be done with this thing.

One thing that's always annoyed me and I have never found if there was a fix for would be the function keys. I'd love to restore the ChromeOS style of layout where the Function keys doubled as system controls and could be toggled with the FN key. I'm not exactly sure what they did on the ChromeOS side but do you know if it's possible to restore it on a pure Linux system?
