Setting up the chroot is reasonably quick, but I found that there was then a lot of periodic maintenance, which was the sort of thing I switched to the ChromeOS machines to get away from in the first place.

I did use my Ubuntu install a lot for a while, but gradually shifted back to keeping things easy.

It rather hammered home to me that I now prefer to live without the extended software capabilities in exchange for hassle-free computing.
