There is a use case for Chromebooks: a quick boot-up, a nearly flawless updating procedure, no need for snti-virus, access to Android apps and Crostini (a Debian Bullseye Linux Virtual Machine without having to worry about the drivers) . Whenever I installed some Linux distribution myself on a previously Windows machine, I always had driver problems: the monitor being finicky, touchscreen not working and the track pad needing calibration, etc. I have a Lenovo Chromebook (8GB RAM and 128GB storage) with a 14" touchscreen and a backlit keyboard and guaranteed updates till June 2030. The Android apps and graphic Linux programs installed have icons (including AppImages with a bit of work), so I seldom use the terminal - mostly to update the system without waiting for Google to do it.
