So I got a chromebook for a good price. Anybody got any tips that can make it substantially better? I kinda miss my games, but it's so handy for notes and great for writing whee

Install a Linux distribution on it and put an SD card in it for more internal storage.

It's samsung so I am guessing it has an ARM processor. I don't think it can install linux

A Chrome book is linux, so you can install Linux on any chrome book. However, you will lack a lot of Linux software, since a lot of it is Intel only, including Steam.

There are certain distributions that work on ARM devices. You can literally just Google, or YouTube, "how to install linux on [insert chromebook here]".
