I wonder what is the percentage of people that would even consider "run [their] favorite Debian programs..." on their Chromebook.

- trog 3y agoI set up the Linux version of Firefox on our company's Chromebooks so we could use client certificates (not available in the Android version available from Play Store). It's super easy so I imagine any nerd with a Chromebook that wants more functionality that they can get from mobile apps would do it!
- ge96 3y agoYeah I have taken a $50 chromebook before and ran virtual box in it. I don't know why they would buy/give out these crippled OS devices vs. just Windows/easiest option.
- solarkraft 3y agoIt's so easy that it's great for education. Want to teach somebody Linux? If they have a Chromebook, there's very little you have to go through to get a near-native Linux shell (you can even open ports!).
