I have a chromebook. ChromeOS was extremely barebones for my taste, very few a actual "applications", even then they were not as feature rich. Most is just web trash. Replaced Chrome OS ASAP so I can get access to a more robust OS. Currently running Arch on it with Cinnamon works really well after a few tweaking and wiping off all chrome OS traces with a custom firmware. Biggest downsides with my model are weak ass haswell celeron dual core and the battery degradation, it's already lost 25% of its charge after 3 years.
Put GalliumOS on it and it's great.
do you really have to use crouton to get a proper linux distro on them?
