[GNC] Chromebooks

I can heartily endorse crouton (https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton)  as a
way to install Linux on a chromebook.  I did it for a couple years, and
Ubuntu ran beautifully, but there will of course be a dependency on how
powerful it is.   I had an Acer C720 with 4GB RAM, 32GB SSD, and an Intel
I3, where many Chromebooks of that era had 2GB RAM, 16GB SSD, and a Celeron.

You will have to use developer mode, and enabling that does a power-wash on
the chromebook, but other than being careful not to lose any files, it's
pretty easy.  I would definitely give it a try if I were you.
