It’s more useful to have standard Linux installed, unless you’re incredibly sensitive about security. I treat Chromebooks as cheap Linux machines. You can buy a brand new netbook, and you know Linux will run on it with no driver issues. It’s still chroot, but you get everything you need to do development.

You can install GalliumOS distribution and get full Linux on most Chromebooks. You can flash firmware and get a proper laptop too
