	Chrome OS is based on Linux, but you can't easily
	run Linux applications on it. That's about to
	change, with Google's Project Crostini rolling out.
	...
	According to Google, you will soon be able to run
	Linux inside a virtual machine (VM) that was
	designed from scratch for Chromebooks. That means it
	will start in seconds, and it integrates completely
	with Chromebook features.
	-----
	
I wonder what percent of users will use Linux apps? Of those who do, 
will it be a new benefit or detriment to usability? It will add 
features, of course, but one of the benefits of Chrome is a more 
consistent experience -- will this weaken that?

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They 
cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel 
somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
