Follow-up question: if i got a Chromebook and wanted to put a distro on it that does what ChromeOS does, what distro would you reccomend? Just to be clear, I strongly dislike Chrome but depend on Google apps for my schoolwork and my job, which is why I’m looking at a Chromebook at all.

    Depending on the specific model there are ways to bypass most restrictions. But yeah it’s not a user friendly experience.
