It's possible, I've done it, but then I questioned myself as to why I did it.
If you're someone who loves to tinker and just try to get something to work for the sake of getting it to work and as a hobby project like me, then yeah, have at it.
If you're doing it to actually make it a viable and daily use pc...meh.
depending on the chromebook sometimes it's just not worth the struggle. you have the limited storage space, you potentially have quirks if the chromebook is one of those that can also be flipped around and used as a tablet. I had one and getting the screen rotation to work was a nightmare. The one I got linux on all it could really do is use a terminal and surf the web/potentially stream stuff but that's about it.
If you're looking to do it Veronica Explains has a great video on peertube about how to do it which helped me alot.
I'd just be using it so that I don't have to be plugged in all the damn time, as is needed with my daily driver.
