Yeah, I'm happy there is official support for using Linux on a chrome book.

Still holding out until Crostini is supported by more Chromebook manufacturers and can be used outside of developer mode before I get one.

crostini does not need developer mode to run. what happens is that it is still in chrome os developer channel, which means is still in beta and can have bugs, but is something diferent then developer mode, just to make things clear.

Oh great. Thanks for clearing that up. I'll still wait until it's on the release channel but it's good to know I don't have to turn on developer mode to use it.
