Ok, but the Linux container is completely at odds with Google's ChromeOS pitch.

Google says that ChromeOS has "simple setup" - but not the Linux parts. They say you can "search anything on your Chromebook" - but not Linux. They talk about "Chrome sync" - doesn't apply to Linux. Etc.

I think that ChromeOS has value as a web-browser host, and also as a development machine for vim-jockeys. What's missing is the middle part: a real desktop OS.

What part of the Linux setup is not simple ? Turning "on" is as simple as it gets.

You can search linux files and apps as usual.

As for sync, feel free to look at open bugs and features and see the work being done.
