 Another options is ChromeOS Flex; it's meant to provide ChromeOS to
 non-Chromebooks, but it also runs on EOL Chromebooks.

 I've got it running on a nice older Samsung Chromebook with the 1080p
 screen and high-end audio. Everything works except for the audio, I'm
 waiting for an update to make it work.

 It runs nicely on a Lenovo X100e I have.

 While it's more work, you can also load SeaBIOS on most chromebooks and
 then run any OS you want - I had Windows and Linux running on an older
 Chromebook. You typically have to take off the bottom of the chromebook
 and flip a switch on the logic board to unlock the bootloader, though.
 It's a little hairy.
