Not sure if this is a joke, but you can already "officially" install a Debian environment from within ChromeOS. https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/91

Indeed, this is just a more convenient and user friendly support layer than installing stuff through Crostini.

hey interesting - new to me.. (checks models) yep, the Chromebook on the desk is one of "the ones that have Linux" .. "Camera not supported yet" .. feature!

  That's just par for the course for Linux. Write the support yourself! Publish it under the GPL! Share and enjoy! ;)

    The irony here is that this is a ChromeOS-specific issue, not really related to typical desktop Linux. Of course, it can and hopefully will be improved by improvements to desktop Linux. I haven't kept up, but ChromeOS will probably be able to adopt newer open source desktop technologies like Wayland and Pipewire/XDG portals in order to get a better Linux multimedia experience, if they care to.
