Can you use an ARM Chromebook without it constantly leaking data to Google? I tried to use the C201 without Chrome OS, but with libreboot, and Debian with mainline Linux. I didn't succeed.

A little late to the party, but I also have a libreboot C201, and have successfully installed mainline Debian on a USB drive connected to it. I'm going to put up a comprehensive guide + shell scripts in December when I'm on break from school, but until then, check out these links:

The main thing I haven't gotten working yet is the touchpad. For wifi, I'm using an atheros dongle with open firmware.

Yes, but gallium doesn't support arm [1]

See https://johnlewis.ie/custom-chromebook-firmware/rom-download...

Doesn't work for every Chromebook, but it does for many. Working fine on my Chrome Box.

I already had flashed libreboot onto the device. That wasn't hard. The problem was and is mainline Linux support.

Thanks for the link. The C201 is listed as work-in-progress.
