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

The only thing I don't like about Crouton is there is not much storage unless you jump through hoops to get Crouton on an sdcard. I prefer a full install. I'm using Linux right now on my Chromebook. I'm using a 32 gig USB stick plugged into my Chromebook to run Ubuntu MATE Trusty. I just hit ctrl-l when I boot up and it legacy boots into a full Ubuntu installation. I have Sigil, Calibre, and several other apps like Libre Office on it for when I occasionally need heavy lifting. Otherwise I just boot into ChromeOS.
