thanks to a tool called Crouton, users no longer need to leave Chrome to
access their favorite Linux software. With Crouton, you’re able to run a
Linux build right on your Chromebook as another tab. Crouton is
essentially a set of scripts that bundle up a Chromium chroot generator.
It currently supports Ubuntu and Debian, though other variants don’t
