How do you watch video files like MKV to play while being able to edit subtitle tracks. I'm having difficulty finding a player for chromebook.

Here's another 1-day CB sale on Woot: Lenovo ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB storage for $300 (add $100 to double the storage.)

drat I'm jealous. Happy with my Chromebook but there's always something tempting about that ThinkPad style and also ryzen cpu.

Anyone have any experience installing new OS's chromebooks?

As I understand it, it's possible on some chromebooks. However, on others, they gut the back end enough that even after enabling developer mode and boot from iso sticks, the machine won't recognize the OS.

I tried to install manjaro on my chromebook. Enabled dev mode, enabled install from ISO stick, but instead of booting from the USB it beeped and entered the chromium OS setup.

Any work arounds? I'm not interested in a dual boot.

E: it's a lenova ideapad 5
