Ask HN: Installing Ubuntu on Chromebook
Is it worth installing Ubuntu on my Chromebook if I've never used Linux or Unix?
I read that one can run Skype on Ubuntu which is the major flaw I've encountered with using Google Chrome.
If it's not too complicated I'd appreciate if you can share a "good" link that shows how to do it.
Thank you,
