    Yes they are pretty ok, and they can support linux but getting it to work on them seems like a hack if u ask me.

    If a 32 GB ssd is enough, sure give it a try.

    I know @ewpratten is highly educated on that topic, as he's constantly hacking around on his chromebook.

    Chromebooks are basically Linux with all the fun taken out coupled with awful, unusable hardware...

    Chrome os is Linux.

    Chromebooks are great for other sisters and sometimes even Windows

    Check out crouton, chrx, chromebrew, and also removing write protection

    You can dual boot a regular linux distro. At least if you get one with Intel cpu.

    Buy a normal laptop with Windows 10 on it and be a normal human being.

    If you need a hobby, get a Raspberry Pi and install Linux on it.

    Fuuuuck.
