I would think running stuff other than just a web browser is the use case. The device goes from portable web browser to Linux laptop with every tool a professional developer uses at your finger tips (and a web browser)
- mwcampbell 5y agoI suspect that this distinction will be irrelevant to the next generation, as services like GitHub Code Spaces, which provide a full development environment inside a web browser, become more normal.
- flatiron 5y agoCan you run node in the web browser and debug through there? I’m not the brightest crayon in the box, I spend most of my life in the debugger!
- nickcoury 4y agoYes, there's at least one option for that now! https://blog.stackblitz.com/posts/introducing-webcontainers/ https://blog.stackblitz.com/posts/introducing-webcontainers/
- azornathogron 5y agoI've run vscode, docker and node in crostini (the debian-in-a-VM that you can just enable in settings in normal Chrome OS). Worked great for me. I'm not at all claiming Chrome OS or crostini are without problems or limitations, but I have been very happily surprised at how well it stood up to some basic web dev work.
