kostya-kow··on Setting Up a Local Development Environment in Chrome OS
Is there a way to run a distro other than Ubuntu (Fedora, Arch)?

I am planning to buy the x86 version, so it seems like it should be possible to install any distro on it. Is Crouton/ Chrubuntu for ARM version?

kostya-kow··on Valve Pushes Out Half-Life For Linux
I think you are right. But this is not necessarily a bad thing.

Majority of Linux kernel is pretty good because of servers, super-computers and Android.

The only reason Linux needs Desktop users is for better graphics drivers and games. Now that Valve is making their game-console, the graphics drivers should improve tremendously, and there should be a lot of new games.

So there is no real need for wide acceptance of Linux desktop.

Of course, this is a rather selfish point of view. I believe that the world would be a better place if everyone used Free Software (and Linux). It would encourage collaboration of many groups of people, and would be really beneficial for all software.
