Chrome OS
Introduction
Right now, I don't have much dedicated to Chrome OS. This is because Chrome OS is really that simple and easy to figure out. I do have a bit with using the Linux container under Chrome OS; that is on the crostini page.
Oh, and before anyone complains that Chrome OS isn't really "Linux", stop. Just stop.
Another section is on Removing ChromeOS; it feels more like archival info these days. ☹️
Setup
For newbies, especially parents getting a Chromebook for their children, the first GMail account logged into the device after purchase is the "owner" of the device. I suggest for younger kids, that the parent be the first one to log in. What age that changes all depends on the parent and the child. 😉

There isn't much to say besides read up on MrChromebox.tech. If you want to remove Chrome OS and run another OS, see how your model is supported. My experience "back in the day" is here.
Hints & Tips
This isn't only Chrome OS, but whose going to pick a nit. So most of this will also work on CloudReady by Neverware. I use both a lot, but haven't tested each item on both Chrome OS and CloudReady.
Clear SSH keys in Secure Shell chrome app can now be done in the UI via "Terminal Settings". The old way was:
