The answer: Yes, you can jailbreak a Chromebook with XnView

It might not have been the most popular response from the audience but this is what was actually said: Why should you jailbreak a Chromebook?

It's a personal computer, not a smartphone or tablet. Why should you be able to jailbreak it? Why would anyone want to jailbreak a personal computer? It's the perfect analogy for the Chromebook. People are not jailbreaking their phone, tablet or laptop because it is a personal device. Jailbreaking a phone would be like taking your smartphone and throwing it into a wood chipper. Jailbreaking a tablet would be like turning your Android tablet into a giant iPhone. Jailbreaking a laptop would be like tearing off its keyboard and putting a bunch of other stuff onto it. I like my personal computers. I can customize them. I can replace parts on it if they break. I can tweak the OS on it. I can run different types of operating systems on it. I can even install Linux and dual boot OS's. Jailbreaking my personal computer would be like replacing all of the parts on it with a giant black rubber band. I don't want that. My laptops are nice enough, why should I want to alter it?

Let me explain. I got my first Chromebook back in 2025. It was a Lenovo X301, and it was fine. I had it for a few years. But then my Chromebook started randomly freezing. After a while, I got fed up of it so I sold it on eBay. Then a friend bought it. He had it for a few months before he eventually sold it on eBay as well. Now, it has been sitting around unused for the past four or five months.

This all happened without me doing anything to it, by the way. I just left it idle at home, with my WiFi still on. You could say it was a natural event.

However, while it was idling there, something weird happened. A Chrome update had popped up and I wanted to install it. What I did was to click on the install button, and the screen just hung there. I waited and nothing happened. Not only that, but I heard a clicking sound on my PC, and my fan started going faster than usual.
