The power of marketing campaigns. It's a bit disturbing to see Google push so hard for this - and still majority of ordinary of customers just want a cheap Windows laptop. The Best Buy guy gave pretty reasonable advice. Also confirming my suspicion that actually hardly anyone wants that expensive Pixelbook. But as long as one can install Linux it should be fine - but I'd rather pick a slick Surface Laptop.

Pixelbooks can run most Debian packages, so I've heard, and container work seems to be in the code base. I'm planning to try one out to see if it makes sense for the non devs at my company. Not allowing windows machines because security.
