The Go is the only computer that I have actually found usable on an airplane. Fits on a tray table very easily.
Incredible battery life. Amazing keyboard and perfectly usable on an airplane.
Crostini to run Linux in a container supported basically right out of the box however I needed to pass arbitrary USB devices into my container so I set up crouton next to crostini and had:
(1) ChromeOS
(2) Ubuntu user-space running with crouton using the ChromeOS kernel, with full native access to the hardware and also all USB devices.
(3) crostini's "termina" container running its own Linux kernel, with no access to the native USB devices except for the ones whitelisted by Google.
The nicest thing is, you can set up a VPN client in crostini and can enjoy network isolation.
I'd get on my VPN on crostini and do my trading there while everything else on the device goes through the default route, without the VPN.
Also when it comes to how Google called that container "termina" really makes me think someone at Google wrote some quick code to spin up a PoC and then never changed the name.
That's not really saying much.
