The performance of running Linux in a container on a VM is noticeably bad, even on a Google Pixel with Core i7 and 16 GB of RAM.
It works okay for most tasks, but is laggy when running JetBrains IDEs compared to bare metal Linux distros.
Edit: Chromebooks are nice in terms of laptop hardware support compared to some hardware / Linux distros I have used over the years. No issues with suspend / resume, printers and scanners work, great touchscreen and Android tablet functionality.
Some tasks that require more direct access to the hardware (e.g. device drivers used to read lab instrument hardware, debugging devices over USB, etc.) might not work as well (or work at all) due to the Linux VM and container sandboxing.
