I found an old laptop that's not working anymore because I accidentally turned it off during a lengthy Windows 8 update. I'd like to install Linux on it instead of going back to Windows. I was thinking about using a Chromebook to download Linux and then booting it from an external hard drive, but I haven't found any good advice on how to do this. Any suggestions?

You can use the Chromebook recovery utility to create a bootable Linux USB drive. Just check out some tutorials online—like this one for using the recovery utility. It's pretty straightforward! Just make sure you get a good ISO for Linux, and you'll be set to go!
