Something similar I've wondered about is grabbing a (full) Chrome OS filesystem image and running the compositor/browser/interface in a chroot with a Linux installation more to my taste on the outside, including up-to-date upstream kernel, etc. Could perhaps even prune away all the stuff that's not used/wanted in this configuration. Essentially using Chrome OS as an alternative and conveniently pre-built graphical interface on the front of a proper Linux box, give the only non-command-line program I use is a browser anyway. I've not actually tried doing this, so maybe it's just doomed to failure or has more downsides I haven't thought of than upsides.
