Yeah, it is funny how successful Linux became as a desktop while basically noone was paying attention. I just wish the keyboards were more developer friendly. Give me F keys!
Yeah, I put Linux on my Chromebook, but I've yet to figure out how to use the F keys, in ChromeOS fn does it.
Google put in a ton of work to make all the Linux and Android sandboxing while still being able to do file sharing into the sandboxes, Wayland GUI app bridging, usb pass-through, and a bunch of other stuff. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/HEAD/con... ChromeOS got good and is wildly underrated for software development. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Do google developers develop on Chromebooks ?

All new devs are given Chromebooks unless they need a specific device (like a MacBook for iOS devs)

To actually dogfood Chromebooks internally like Chromebooks for Education and for Families, Google would need to deny its devs containers behind a greyed out "Turn on Linux" button and deny them access to Colab notebooks and AI platform etc (while only allowing Play Store apps); nothing to SSH to, no notebooks, no devpod, no local git repos (!), no local terminal to run e.g. pytest tests with, no devtools JS console, etc.

Are they still given a Debian workstation besides that? Didn't know they are dogfooding ChromeOS that seriously.

Linux just works without all the WSL issues, I can run Visual Studio Code, Docker and anything that I tried so far.
It's actually a delight to work on. I can only imagine how much better yet it will be with a top tier Chromebook
