Anyone tried a high end Chromebook for this? As far as I understand, they let you run Linux inside a container alongside the regular Chrome OS UI. Any major downsides?
I jumped off a cliff for a cheap Black Friday HP-based Chromebook (i3 with 16GB of RAM)
For my day-to-day Linux needs it has been great. I get all my apps/streaming through the play store, and all major SW for Linux works for my coding (VS Code, GIMP, Android Studio).
The current downside: I can run vms on the box (but I likely could run Docker...maybe?), But there's SSH for that.
Mainly it's a drag that the mouse-lock feature hasn't been implemented. So I can't play Minecraft. XD
