Apparently you can now run Linux apps in ChromeOS/Pixelbook.

I spent a minute trying to figure out what PRO stands for.

Care to spare other people some time?

My assumption is Pro, as in professional. Why it's in all caps is beyond me.

Yes, no idea PRO will be confusing :)

I think they thought it was an acronym, but the commenter just meant "pro," i.e. a dev or designer.
Everyone agree we are a small niche. So anything below will have a minimal impact in the so important shareholders pockets, and win a enough love for us, IMHO:
- Apple hate to give better, more powerfull hardware with enough flexibility (change SSD, Memory, so not more glue. End). Make a limited true mac pro, heck, make it semi-ugly, non-thin so most will not want that, and VICTORY.
- MS give the hardware but refuse to give away the spyware. Give a solid Windows 2000 Server alike thing without cruft, give it with a LTS edition and even ask money for it, dammit. VICTORY
- Google could give a combo chrome machine/linux with the hardware/LTS edition, stick to it, VICTORY.
