Oh, and technically, the Android "emulator" built into Chromebooks is running off of Linux to begin with.
Which makes me wonder why Android apps seem to run slowly /jittery in my experience. I'm not sure if that's related to Linux, or it has to do with the processing power a Chromebook has.
Actually... I think it has to do with that second one.
Considering Google Chrome is a MONSTER on the CPU, it kinda annoys me that I have to go through a bunch of hoops to set Linux up to use Firefox without running it as an Android app. And Chromebooks are more meant for the everyday student or individual with low/mid tech standards who just needs something to do their work on. Not for someone who is a tech enthusiast, especially considering how Google seems time and time again to want to control the choices people make. Especially with them wanting to deprecate support for Adblockers, which can actually do a big part in keeping you safe on the internet.
And I'm neither a student nor employed, unless you consider being a general nuisance and kissing fictional men real jobs, but I don't have too high tech standards either really. I don't enjoy PC gaming, and I mainly just draw. On occasion I write stuff too.
My main interest is in viruses and stuff like that. The one thing that's cool about Chromebooks is that, if you don't run Linux, you can't open .EXE or other files unsupported by Chromebooks, so barring your Google account getting mauled by a cookie stealer or something elsewhere, it's practically impossible to infect a Chromebook as far as I know.
