I don't think Chromebooks are general-purpose devices either. You certainly can't install arbitrary code on them. A Chromebook is closer to an iPad-with-a-keyboard than it is to a general-purpose laptop running Linux (or even Windows).
- akkartik 5y agoI don't particularly like Chromebooks, but this doesn't seem like a fair characterization. You can put Chromebooks in Developer Mode without needing anyone's permission. You can install Linux on them. You can run Linux programs on them. (Though I don't know for sure that you can run gdb on them.)
