@mguhlin @edutooters I find the Linux container very useful. If you have a relatively powerful Intel based Chromebook and you are familiar with Linux then in my humble opinion a Chromebook is a phenomenal daily driver for most tasks.
@mguhlin @edutooters I run the standard Debian distro which is fine as I normally run a Debian/Ubuntu based distro on other devices. And you are right, Android apps can be very useful too.
Even for games, there's a lot of Android games you can enjoy on a Chromebook with a larger screen and a controller.
@gpowerf Agreed! Add #GNU/Linux to your #Chromebook, and you now have a totally full-featured device that can do quite a bit more than what it was designed for. Of course, the benefit of #Android apps being able to run on Chromebooks gives you a lot more functionality, but there's nothing quite like running Ubuntu on a Chromebook. What's your favorite distro for a Chromebook with an i3 processor and ample RAM? @edutooters https://blog.tcea.org/running-android-apps-chromebook/
