Chromebook used to be locked down iirc. Anyway it isn't anymore, so yes you can install *nix or whatever on it.

Nope, people have Linux Mint on the pixel now.

Which has non-existant support for high pixel density displays. I hope they enjoy messing with DPI settings which mess all apps you use.

Linux support for such displays it not there yet.
