Will installing Linux on my chromebook cause any problems?

I have an Acer c710 chromebook that I got for christmas last year and I'd like to install linux finally. I've been putting it off for a very long time because I hat to send my computer in to Acer itself earlier this year because for the first 3 months with my computer it only worked like 10-40% of the time and the other times it would have the "chrome OS is missing or damaged." Eventually it got so bad that my computer was completely useless so I sent it in to get a replacement OS thing [sorry I'm no good with computers, that's my dad's thing.]
Anyway I have a bunch of stuff I'd like to be able to do [such as use decent editing software] that I know I'd be able to do if I installed linux. I've researched it for a while and know exactly what needs to be done but what I haven't been able to find is if there's any possibility of damaging the OS? I know there's that possibility for jailbreaking phones which is why I refuse to jailbreak my iphone when I had no problem doing so with my ipod. So I'm wondering if there's similar "bricking" possibilities [or anything damaging for that matter] for this situation? Because I Really don't want to have to send my computer in for repair again.

Can i buy a Verizon Iphone 5S from Target without the contract?

I see that i can get a 16GB 5S at Target for 200$. Does that mean that once i bought the phone, it would be just the phone without the service? It would essentially be an Ipod? I need to buy a new phone but i'm trying to find the cheapest way to get an Iphone with my current 30$ a month plan with Verizon. So, with that said, if i bought the phone from Target, it wouldn't have any service until i went and got it hooked up with my plan, correct?

My iPhone 5S screen is constantly glitching?

I recently got an iPhone 5S and I've been experiencing a serious problem. When I unlock my iPhone or plug it in, my screen will glitch. It will look like you're seeing doubles.
