Does Linux work well for most people?
Honestly, Linux support on Chrome OS: I'm glad it's here, but this is kind of "Mickey Mouse" -- it's never worked that well.
App installation is painful and wonky at best. Do I "sudo apt install"? Oh can't do that, do I have to manually download some package... Which one, x64, ARM, .deb, .rpm, flatpak, that random .tar.gz..?
OK let's try the .deb, online instructions say I can just double-click on that! Oh whoops, nothing happens. OK let's move it into the linux partition and try sudo apt install ./package.deb ... Some failed dependency check? Wonderful!
Honestly, it's a miracle when I get anything to work. Signal desktop is my biggest victory and the one thing I actually use every day. I'd love to use emulators, but I can't even begin to troubleshoot the 10 things that go wrong when I try to actually connect a USB gamepad to the linux system.
In contrast, the functionality of web apps is just amazing and seamless, even in comparison to Android. More web apps pls!
