From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hilarious title. Can you install Firefox?
Actually? Yes https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/run-firefox-chromeos
Can you uninstall Chrome?
But that would turn them into books.
Mission accomplished.
Check chromebrew too https://github.com/chromebrew/chromebrew/tree/master/packages
You can install from Android or from linux environment, but last one is a virtualization and it's a bit slow.
