Such a polite reply to such a grumbly comment. Thanks for the work you do, even if I can't take advantage of it yet.

The main issue with desktop Linux on ARM Chromebooks (that I encountered) is HW acceleration. GLES support is sketchy to nonexistent among the current crop of window managers. I am hopeful that some of the work the Pyra team is doing to bring a standard accelerated desktop to a mobile device can be reused on the Chromebook - I've already had some success with GLshim, which was developed for the Pandora.
