The fact that this is dual-booting (on a different drive) with ChromeOS is unintentionally richly ironic. They are basically polar opposites of the end-user-xNix-desktop scale, on the x86 PC.
One has no options, is dead easy, and just works. It only does one thing, but it's the most important thing, and it does it perfectly.
The other has way too many options, is extremely hard work, but it can do anything you want. If you work out how.
Yup, Linux ~25Y ago. Only without all the cruft that Linux has accumulated since then.
