I have a cheap chromebook with much worse specs than a pixelbook and it has been extremely reliable.
The linux containers are slow to start but that only applies to the first time you run a linux app after restarting the computer or logging out/in. Otherwise they work great.
Android apps are more of a mixed bag.
The bigger problem is that PWAs don't quite seem ready and Chrome apps are deprecated so there's no good way to make apps that specifically target chrome os right now.
- invisible 4y agoI know it's not a requirement, but running docker containers is a nontrivial headache. Additionally, running VSCode resulted in a number of frustrating bugs: - copy+paste not working, or only working on small strings - font size issues and anti-aliasing issues - delays on keystrokes Any type of advanced networking in Linux was also a huge headache (e.g. a wireguard interface) and didn't interop with the browser. So as needed, I was at one point running both the Chrome on ChromeOS and another Chrome in Linux.
