Every new Chromebook since 2020 supports the Linux container, even the low cost ones. Would I use Linux for heavy duty desktop apps on an entry-level Chromebook? No, but for occasional use or a third party browser it works perfectly fine.

No they don't, I am quite sure a couple of models at the local Shopping mall here in Germany state the support is not avaiable.

Anyway why waste money on a Chromebook when GNU/Linux laptops are much cheaper or have similar price points.
