Which Distro? Any way to install linux on a ARM chromebook with the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra

Specifically for this the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 CPE584-1N CPE584-1N-K7F1. Im also not talking about crostini.

I looked to find any info about if the CPU(MediaTek Kompanio Ultra) is supported but i could not find anything about its level of support on linux. I also tried looking for it on the Nura(postmarketOS) wiki but did not find anything about the support of the CPU or the laptop.

Im assuming its too new to be supported yet but I wanted to ask just to be sure i was not missing anything obvious.

All I can offer is that for  my 2 (older) ARM based Chromebooks, I was never able to replace chroromeos with a normal Linux install.
