Linux & Android Development on Chrome OS
summary
Chromebooks run a Debian container via Crostini that auto downloads a VM and exposes a terminal so developers install Git, Vim, Visual Studio Code and Android Studio as a .deb, run Node web servers, and ADB connect to the Android container IP to deploy and resize apps. Crostini is on >50% of devices, recommended hardware is 8 GB RAM and Intel i5, containers can be snapshotted and restored, and live demos sometimes fail due to device offline or thermal throttling.
