This certainly makes a great dev environment for golang as for development golang has very reasonable requirements.
Wouldn't want to compile some big Scala projects on it I suspect

Re: How Chrome OS, Termux, YubiKey and Duo Mobile make for great usable security
#12I used my CB30 as a dev machine for a little while, both using cloud environments (koding, codeanywhere) and using vscode under crouton.
It is so close to being usable. It is such a user friendly operating system, it just falls short on a few significant fronts.
1. Developer mode should be friendlier to use (no horrible noises on boot, no delayed boot time).
2. It needs support for electron-based/alike apps to run natively in browser windows without crouton. E.g. vscode.

#13I'm a bit confused (did skim article only). Is this running ChromeOS or Linux? Can I get steam games like stardew valley to run on it?
ChromeOS, Termux, and probably not. You might be able to run some Android games though.
That's what I thought. However, this article (http://lifehacker.com/how-to-install-linux-on-a-chromebook-a...) mentions crouton and being able to run Ubuntu. For instance, can I use apt-get, containers, etc.? Seems like there are two "solutions" .. one is to reboot into an open Linux system and the other is a more loose chromeOS?

Have you read the actual article? I thought it was quite thorough in explaining what the author was doing and why.

Ok, but as the article states, they did not de-ChromeOS it because they wanted TPM and Verified Boot and FIDO-certified U2F security key so that they didn't defeat the whole purpose of buying a Chromebook.
FTA: “As far as Debian/Ubuntu (and crouton), that's fine as far as it goes, but then you don't end up with a Chromebook, just a cheap mini-notebook with flaky drivers. The whole point of this exercise is to retain the hardened posture of the platform and have a flexible, safe development environment without depending on the crutch of privileged access.”

The author explains why they want to stick to "native" ChromeOS. You said you only skimmed the article, that is probably why you are being downvoted.

Basically the author wants to have a Chrome OS installation that can run android and non-root unix/linux software. All this in a regular installation without requiring the user to enable developer mode.
Regarding your questions, yes it is running linux as Chrome OS is based on Gentoo. But it is not running any traditional linux distro. In order to provide a linux/unix environment, the author installs termux. But this app is for command line programs. The quake screenshot has nothing to do with termux, it was installed from the Play store. Therefore I'd say it's not possible to run Steam on it.
