ChromeOS Flex is very solid, I have it running on an old Macbook Air and I
have set up Linux support so it also has access to LibreOffice and Vivaldi

However, Chrome OS does support Linux applications through a feature
called "Linux (Beta)".
To enable Linux (Beta) on your Chromebook, you can follow these steps:
Click on the system tray in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
