Nice! I'm trying the ChromeOS browser + terminal experiment myself. Just bought a 2015 Chromebook Pixel LS and outside the local storage issue it's a glorious machine.
In terms of terminal use, I thought a chroot would be a little heavy handed and I didn't want to get rid of Google's verified boot, so I bootstrapped Linuxbrew and gcc using this guide: https://github.com/Homebrew/linuxbrew/wiki/Chromebook-Install-Instructions https://github.com/Homebrew/linuxbrew/wiki/Chromebook-Instal...
Given that I use vim + bash + go + ruby / python + js + tmux...well, everything seems to work. And it's easily the fastest web browser I've ever used. I tried installing Gentoo Prefix but couldn't get it up and running...think that would be better than Linuxbrew, but for now this seems to suffice. If I run into any roadblocks I'll probably wind up doing the whole crouton/chroot thing, but for now I'm a happy camper.
