Now more than ever, ChromeOS is Linux with Google’s desktop environment - Lemmy

Does this mean I can reasonably expect to buy a Chromebook and install vanilla Linux without huge headaches?

There’s always been Linux distros that targeted Mac hardware. There’s got to be something like that for chromebooks, right?

No, this isn’t something you can expect.

There used to be a distro called Gallium OS, but it’s been dead for a couple years now.
