Is there a way to flash Pixelbooks?

Being able to reflash a current nvme Pixelbook with my own trust root and build and sign my own OS images would be super excellent.

The platform security of the Pixelbook is lovely; the only way it could be better is if I were able to control it.

I'm not sure -- I haven't messed with a Pixelbook. On Chromebooks, the trust root lives in the bootloader's flash with no security beyond the write protect screw.

A quick googling led to a reddit post that indicates it's possible with the Pixelbook, but likely a PITA:
