I recently was able to install Trisquel in this machine, and I want to share how I did it. I’m attaching a tutorial step by step, hopping it will help other people.
You might check the review I did on it here, and decide if the device is worth buying on your own.
Since this computer has it’s particularities, I thought on also opening this forum post so that anybody can share its tricks and experiences. For instance, since this computer’s keyboard doesn’t have most of the keys you find in a regular keyboard, I will share in future how I managed to configure the keyboard to my liking and make keys to work like the Caps Lock key.
I share with a friend how I feel I wanted to open a self help group with twelve steps with the first step being accepting we’re powerless, after everything I have gone throw to make this device work as I wanted, so here it is.
Sorry I forgot to attach the tutorial, but here it is.

I create a wiki manual so that it's easier to update the tutorial step by step:

Also I screwed the link to the review, here it is: https://trisquel.info/es/samsung-chromebook-v1-kevin-review
Last thing I want to share on the Libreboot installation is: If you try to run the flashprog we compile from a USB memory or the SD it will complain you don’t have permissions to do so, even when using sudo or given the file executable permissions, this is because the SD or USB memories haven’t been mounted with executable permissions. To do so you need to use:
sudo mount -o remount,exec /the/mount/location
I’ll ask Leah if he believe adding all this to the Libreboot tutorial will be useful. In the mean while I leave it all
