An option might be to install Debian on chromebooks. There was a talk yesterday on DebConf22, about this: https://debconf22.debconf.org/talks/87-solving-how-can-i-run-debian-on-my-chromebook-for-good/ I hope that the recordings of the conference will be published soon. Another option might be to use chromebooks as thin clients for connecting to a Linux server. This can be done by installing Guacamole on the server, which can be accessed from a browser. So, you are going to use the browser of the chromebook as a thin client for accessing a Linux server. I know very well how to do this (although I have never tried it on a chromebook), so you can ask me more details if you wish.
