I'm hoping Chromebook will win the Linux Desktop wars. I'm not sure what it's future is, but right now with Wayland, running on GNU, running on Linux characterising it as yet another variant of KDE / Gnome / Xfce or whatever doesn't seem too outlandish. It runs Debian GUI packages just fine - for example Mozilla says to run Firefox on Chromebook you just install the Debian package. All the other Debian packages I've installed like vim and LibreOffice just worked too. It's pretty seemless as any Linux GUI app you install just appear in your startup folder just like native Chromebook apps do. It's fast, as in native fast, because it's an LXD container. Google's control of the platform is almost Apple like. All the hardware has to work, the manufacturer has to supply 8 years of updates, and the battery has to last 10 hours. Compatibility issues vanish because in effect it's like buying a windows laptop or macbook. You're guaranteed the kernel can drive the hardware. Security wise it's on par with a phone, which means it's better than any desktop OS (Windows, MacOS, and the traditional Linux), which for me is a major plus. The downside is hardware availability. If you are a student who only needs 4G RAM and 64GB SSD, you're very well catered for. You can get something amazingly cheap that's build like a truck and has a waterproof keyboard. But finding something with 16GB or more of RAM and 256GB+ SSD is like searching for hens teeth. Here's hoping that will improve.
