>>5403048I bought a Chromebook about three weeks ago and immediately booted Ubuntu. It runs from a 16b flashdrive, so I can revert back to Chrome os just by booting without the flash drive in.
It works great, despite still being in a pretty early stage (buggy and whatnot). There are a few things you need to fix from the outset once you boot Ubuntu on it (trackpad is weird, a few hotkeys are off) but there are quick fixes for it all.
If you know what to expect from a netbook, you won't be dissapointed. I use it for dicking around on the internet and some light image editing with gimp, and I find it functions great for what I need.
