A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

You can; however it will always show a message that leaves you a keypress away from nuking your system on boot
Ok. Now I'm curious. How's that work?
Chromebooks have a special bios, it works with a chip on the motherboard to detect if chromeos is running or if some unverified os is running. If chromeos isn't running, it displays a warning message on boot. This behavior cannot be disabled.
Thanks! That is such pretty, jealous behavior.

I'm assuming you were going for "petty," not rhapsodizing about the UI on the error.
