Anybody got any day-to-day practical stories of how this Linux layer generally is? I have the top tier Pixelbook bought on the promise of integrated Linux on secure hardware.

In reality it's crap, no FUSE, some GUI programs simply don't run, upgrades can trash your install, sporadic development attention from Google, and my 2015 MBP is an order of magnitude faster (wish I'd sprung for the 16Gb version though).

The new MBP without a touchbar would be a great replacement but the Book 3 has caught my attention. Love to hear stories from Mac->Windows refugees.
