Robert,
The Chromebook that is at the top of my list at the moment has only 4GB
RAM. Installing and running Debian (or others) in a container worries
me. When you are running Linux in a container, how much RAM is taken in
all by Chrome OS and Debian?
I plan to use the tablet mostly for reading

Same scenario here. I use the Chromebook for its standard features:
browsing, email, chat, music. I use the Linux VM ( container? ) with Debian
to do some light work in the shell or in a Docker container. For heavier
loads, I use the cloud ( AWS, GCP, Azure, etc. ). I have Docker containers

Just to say a few words in defense of GNU screen. Screen does
something for me that tmux can't (or at least not as conveniently, you
can have tmux launch other programs, while screen does it natively),
and that's support for serial connections. I have a "fleet" of
embedded devices with usb-serial

My only experience with running linux (ubuntu) natively was with the
original CR-48 prototype devices. On those linux ran like a dream but the
touchpad was a nightmare with no drivers to tweak. The installation process
was a breeze even back when chromebooks were new . My plan has always been

I was going to broach this subject as well Galen. I didn't because the
original poster decided not to pursue a solution to the problem posed. I
only recently discovered this "feature". I was already unimpressed with
Chromebooks based on my personal experience with one. The end of support

FYI to John and anyone else considering purchasing a Chromebook. If you
are intending to use ChromeOS (i.e. as a normal Chromebook), you should
check the end of updates date before purchasing. Sometimes when you
spot a really good deal on a Chromebook, it is because the Auto Update
Thanks for your post, Timothy.
I have almost the same environment here: read/listen to books on smartphone
or tablet or Kindle, otherwise use a Chromebook ( rarely, I'll use my
MacBookPro). In fact, if I need a "real" linux ( or Windows ) environment,
I just create one in the cloud and then
