Anybody have a recommendation for their favorite model of Chromebook to install Linux on?

I'm looking to acquire either a used Cromebook to have for a light "carryin' around" machine.

Source code leaks hint at an upcoming ChromeOS tablet with a 12.1 inch, 2560 x 1600px display and a MT8189 chip with 2 x Cortex-A78 cores and 6 Cortex-A55 cores. https://chromeunboxed.com/the-first-mediatek-mt8189-tablet-padme-will-feature-a-large-12-1-inch-qhd-screen/ #ChromeOSTablet #Chromebook #MT8189

Further context: the kid in question is already a #Linux user (for nearly 3 years), so a #Chromebook is probably a downgrade for them.

OK, gonna put this one out to the fediverse: has anyone any experience with sending kids to high school in #NZ with a #Linux laptop rather than the suggested #Chromebook. It will probably be #KDE Neon as the distro of choice.

Did it cause any issues? Did anyone even notice the difference?

(For reference, I've been a Linux desktop and server user for ~20 years, so tech support is not an issue. In fact Linux is the easiest option).
