      Sure. It is most likely possible to boot into some state of working OS under Linux. But that doesn’t give you access to all the hardware either because of missing drivers or other horrible things.

      But yeah! Please!

    What would be the advantage of ChromeOS over Android anyway? Does it have better memory management when it comes to tabs open or something like that?

      A desktop environment similar to most desktop OSes? I don’t think it’s a performance difference

    all of my Chromebooks are worse now than when I got them. Android ARC is broken, Linux containers mounts are broken, manifest V3 is killing anything else.
