Looks like a Chromebook, which means Linux would be a bit hacky and not guaranteed to work well at all.
it's gotten a LOT less hacky now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6oyqrrXTLM
VeronicaExplains and not linking to the Peertube video? That's a paddlin'

Nice! I gave up on Chromebooks after google screwed me over, but back then it was all very much an improvised hack to get Linux on them.
Glad to see that progress has been made!
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
It's arm right? Just fiddle a bit with the bootloader and that's it. Similar to Andorided phones
It likely will work, but may not work 100%. It really depends on how popular this laptop is, and how well-supported it is in the linux community.
Chromebooks are actually Linux.
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, Google/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Chrome plus Linux.
Ah, the CNG distro. Chrome's Not GNU.
Yeah not not standard Linux distributions. Getting standard Linux to work requires a bunch of messing with drivers
