Contrary to expectations, I'm finding the ChromeOS on this system somewhat useful. I intend to use the system mainly for streaming some on-line video content via the browser, which works rather well under ChromeOS because I can minimize the browser during commercials (the Kodi add-on I use for this under LE does not allow for this sort of thing). At the same time, I don't want to use ChromeOS for this since I try to minimize their tracking of my on-line activities. As I'm understanding it, NayuOS allows one to use a ChromeOS-like system without having to authenticate to google services. Anyway, just a thought.
with my UEFI firmware, you can pretty much run whatever OS you want. The hardware in these boxes is all standard stuff, well supported. I've not tried NayuOS but no reason it shouldn't run without issue.
