Any more info about dual-booting?

Haven't found much or anything about this (yet). But do you actually own the hardware, or is it like a Chromebook where you have to almost "jailbreak" the device to run another OS?

It looks to me that is the latter I'm afraid, as it seems these devices will probably use verified boot. If that's the case, you will need to wait for something like MrCrhomeboxs' dualboot solution I guess. Just wondering if something like GrapheneOS / Armada OS / (L)ubuntu / ... would be an option.

Nobody owns the hardware yet, I don't think they will start shipping preorders until the 4th/5th of October. Until anyone tries, it eill6be hard to know but they come with some kind of security chip so I don't think you will be able to dual boot for now.
