> Debian on a chrome book

Easier said than done, Chromebooks aren't "computers" in the sense that you could easily or natively install Windows/Linux.

ChromeBooks run ChromeOS and often don't even have a BIOS, thus to shoehorn a different OS requires installing SeaBIOS when it isn't present.

They're more like an appliance, though GalliumOS[0] works on (most?) x86 Chromebooks.

Why is the definition of a computer suddenly dependent on whether or not you can "easily" install Linux or Windows on it?
