Seriously, though, I do get the impression that there's less emphasis now on 'buy a Chromebook and you can dual-boot into a traditional Linux distro' than there was when we started this thread.
I think Chromebooks are increasingly being accepted for what they are, rather than what they're not.

To me a piece of hardware is a piece of hardware - what happens to be on the hard drive when you buy it certainly doesn't dictate what you do with it. All but one of the computers I've purchased over the last twenty years have been "windowsbooks" by that logic. I purchased them to run the OS and software that I use, and the fact that Windows was installed by the manufacturer is of no concern to me, other than the minor annoyance that Microsoft gets another few unearned bucks just like they do from almost every Linux user for most of their purchases (unless you go out of your way to buy a machine with Linux/No OS installed/build from scratch), but that's just the way the world works.
