I had a cheap ChromeBook I used for quite a while, basically until the battery gave out and it turned into a desktop machine, but chromeOS was pretty limited back then so I just threw fedora on it. Almost all my Blender dev work was on that poor little underpowered thing…

It's a work laptop, although I use it almost exclusively these days since I can easily use a "personal" profile. It's very easy to manage things like SSO/device policies on Chromebooks because of the GSuite integration.
There's pretty much nothing that it's "worse" at, other than in some niche scenarios - like there's a bug where the VM will return an invalid code for a specific CPUID, and it doesn't support nested virtualization, etc. Pretty niche stuff.
Otherwise... it works. Funny enough I'm now in quite a pickle with my Ubuntu laptop, which updated to a new kernel, failed, and now I can't roll back to the previous kernel. Because of this, virtually no drivers are working, so I can't connect to the internet... making it really really fun to deal with! Stuff like this doesn't really happen on my Chromebook.
