Totally agree. I had this thing's immediate predecessor, the second-gen Pixel. I used crouton and the integration was fantastic. Alt-tab between ChromeOS and a real Linux desktop. Clipboard integration. ChromeOS driver stability plus all of my familiar Linux tools. Fantastic battery life too.

However, that developer-mode "hit Crtl-D or lose everything" misfeature always made me super-nervous too. Whoever implemented that must have never read any one security-UX book, because they all mention the evils of taking irrevocable action in response to a password failure. Or maybe they were just brain damaged. Either way, what a horrible mistake.
