Hi :)
Yes, a lot of people misunderstand what dual-booting means.

It does mean keeping the original system intact and easy to reinstate
fully.  It's a bit more complicated than just installing software "onto a
computer" but not by much.  I generally recommend experimenting with some
old computer such as ones relegated to the attic or basement or stuffed
into a cupboard or found in a skip or bought from ebay for a tenner.  It is
possible to make mistakes but defaults generally tend to be designed to
protect existing systems these days.  Back in 2008 it might was a bit
different with some distros but Ubuntu and most others have always been
protective.
Regards from
Tom :)

"Cley Faye":

First alternative (easier): it is possible to install Ubuntu (or other
linux OS) on a chromebook.


So you propose to the person to turn her expensive device into brick by
voiding its warranty? Seriously?


​Yes, seriously. Sorry if you're shocked.
And the fact that you decide to install custom software on *your* *own*
hardware doesn't mean that you're voiding your warranty just because the
manufacturer told you so. Not all countries have similar laws regarding
this.

Does I sound a bit extreme here? It's hard to tell, you thrown off my
balance by saying that voiding a warranty turns a device into brick. Last
time I installed a piece of software on it, my chromebook was much less
brick-y than you imply.

Maybe If I did suggest to install windows instead of a linux, your view
would differ?
