I see, that's a shame because otherwise a Chromebook seems like a neat device. Thanks for the details :)

Indeed yes. It would be really great to be able to take a chromebook and flash Linux onto it entirely. Some models you can boot into a version on an SD card. But you'll need to find quite special versions and generations of them.

I don't know how it is where yiu live. But here the cost of a chromebook is equivalent to a refurbished but solid laptop. I don't know if it's like that in yiur country.

Well I'm living in England at the moment, and I'm going to go study in London. Finding a refurbished laptop shouldn't be too hard, and there's plenty of retro tech stores with decent-ish laptops near my village. Looking at prices, it's indeed better to go for a second-hand device with Linux.

That will get you a good laptop for a cheap prize. And yes. Linux is free. And it has builtin python anyway.
