The Google Chromebook doesn't have a real operating system, only a web browser. Good decision, Denmark.

No true Scotsman applied to operating systems? :)

It can even run Linux terminals, AFAIK.

It's locked-down Linux under the hood and all sorts of stuff can be unlocked on it.

My Chromebook has a real-enough operating system to program an ESP32 and play Portal.

Are you doing ESP via Arduino in the web editor?

It's been a couple years, but I was using the Arduino IDE for Linux.

I think Steam is currently a dev/beta feature.

And yet Cloudmacs (and other similar tools exist) - so you can put a real operating system in your browser on your fake operating system.
