With crostini you can now run linux apps. It is still in beta.


I tried this by the way, you pay in performance in a big way. Even if you don’t need hardware acceleration the general compile performance is bad, about 3X longer on a large angular project than a MacBook Air.


Ah, good to know. Haven't tried Chromebooks in a while because I didn't want only a browser. Might revisit when this hits stable.


It's a dirty dirty myth that you can only run Chrome in ChromeOS: https://github.com/skycocker/chromebrew

You don't even need Crostini.


Yeah, I was running Firefox via crostini for a while and it worked really well.
