I primarily do security tool development and contribute to a couple of open source projects. That said, I do a good amount of work on my Samsung Chromebook Plus since it has a built-in Linux distro while I'm commuting into work or sitting on the couch.
I've been wanting to do this for years but not destroy the beautiful design intentions of the Chromebook itself by converting it to straight Linux. About a year ago they added a stripped down version of Debian as a small VM so it became a perfect mobile development platform for me!
My only small complaint is the lower-end CPU takes a few seconds longer than I'd like for Goland or Pycharm to lint my code and do auto-imports!
Hi Matthew! I was looking at the Samsung Chromebook Plus today. Do you mind sharing your model number? Amazon is fraught with older models that might not have the Linux Distro.
Thanks!

Whaaat?! A Chromebook with a Linux distro? What a great idea!
