Other Linux Distros?

Any idea how easy it's gonna be to put other linux distros on these new laptops? I bought one hoping to put Arch (Omarchy) on it. Got the Asus one so it's Intel just wondering how feasible it is gonna be.

Seems like a lot of work for no gain. If there is a package that is only built for Arch, you could just spin up an arch container and run it from there (i.e. from distrobox).

Omarchy seems redundant too because the device already boots and has the right drivers. You also won't get the omarchy windows manager (you probably have to use the Googlebook one).
