My computing is largely based around a classic style mini-tower and some Raspberry PI computers. But I sometimes need to take things on the road, for which I have a low-end laptop that originally came with Windows 10, and I replaced that with Debian GNU/Linux. When it comes to computing on the move, I see it as an accessory to my desktop, no heavy duty tasks. This mobile arrangement all works for me (your mileage might vary). When I was getting that laptop I ignored the Chromebooks as they didn't seem capable of doing anything other than ChromeOS. Well, live and learn, below is a video about installing Linux on a Chromebook, Yes, there are some ... somewhat ugly hoops ... you have to jump through to get Linux on a Chromebook. Then you have to deal with the limitations of a Chromebook, limited RAM, sluggish CPU, and limited storage. Still, it can be done, using a lightweight Linux distribution, and well, knowing everything is limited. I am in no rush to replace my current laptop (it is running just fine for what I want to do), but next time I have to shop for a laptop, I will at least consider a Chromebook (at least as long as I am confident I can put a Linux distribution on the device). So, anyone looking for portable Linux on a VERY tight budget may want to consider this. https://youtu.be/iydjjpvkoDE?si=FCYCCuNZBVQjUxsv
