How many Steam games actually run on Chromebooks? Let alone on Linux in general.

Quite a lot actually. Obviously you won't be playing AAA games on a Chromebook, but I think most would run lots of older games well enough

For AAA games on chromebook, I believe Stadia was supposed to be the solution.

Emphasis on was. Ask me again in 6 months.

stadia's biggest problem is stadia's business model. It's not solveable unless they change it. Paying for the streaming service and full price for the game too is a no-win situation and won't reach widespread adoption when microsoft is offering streaming for a large collection of games in their monthly xbox live subscription.

You can stream steam games to any device with the steam binary installed.
