You can hack the Chromebook to run Linux, either by setting it up to dual boot (run Chrome OS or Linux) or by completely overwriting the factory OS and going full Linux.

If at all possible, I recommend finding an inexpensive, used laptop and using Windows or some variant of Linux because it is a bit easier, but it can be done with a Chromebook.
