Linux is used by many people across the world as an alternative to Windows and even macOS.There are a lot of great laptops that can run Linux, but what if you have a Chromebook or want to buy a great Chromebook to run Linux instead? Well, though it is possible to replace ChromeOS with Linux entirely on a Chromebook, the best way to set up and run Linux on a Chromebook is through ChromeOS itself. Google has integrated a Linux environment that runs in a virtual container on top of ChromeOS.
