Do you guys know how to get linux on this chromebook?

[Helpful Tech Witch]

Ive got a out of support chromebook running chromeos Version 76.0.3809.136 , and it should have a linux option in the settings as it was introduced in chromeos 69. But I cant find it.

I cant find any documentation online as to why it would not be there.

Its not there on any of the chromeos branches.

 

this was a school chromebook before it went out of support, I got it from the school for 20$. 

Is it possible that it being a school's has something to do with it?
(its bassically a hp chromebook 11, its the hp chromebook 11-smb)

its a intel chromebook

you can go to settings and go to linux area, but since it lost support it might not even work
