Any suggestions for an ancient Chromebook?
Have one that is managed by a school from 10 years ago and they failed to release the device.
I am a fan of alpine Linux which i think may work well on an old Chromebook.
Any suggestions/links welcome

If you still want ChromeOS, try https://chromeos.google/intl/en_au/products/chromeos-flex/
If you want to boot a Linux distribution, try https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/
Along with farfatched's suggestions, you could look into Postmarket OS (based on Alpine Linux).
The devices page on their wiki shows compatibility with specific devices - https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices
> managed by a school […] and they failed to release the device.
This means you cannot install the alternate OS setups mentioned in sibling comments.
Throw it away.
ETA: info correct as of a long time ago. I have done no new research.
