I’m not an expert on this, but as far as I understand Chrome OS is already a version of Linux, so presumably there are some synergies about running Linux on a type of a Linux machine.
The announcement hints at that:
“Linux runs inside a virtual machine that was designed from scratch for Chromebooks. That means it starts in seconds and integrates completely with Chromebook features. Linux apps can start with a click of an icon, windows can be moved around, and files can be opened directly from apps.”
Having said that, it is currently only available on the top-spec Chromebook (the Pixelbook), so you might be right that this won’t run on older (and weaker) Chromebooks. This is something for the next generation of Chromebooks.

I didn’t think you would. I mentioned this as a counter-incentive for a Linux user base for Hyper Plan.

Indeed I will; the full version of course, I am a registered user since v1 ;)

I’m author of both MindRaider and MindForger. And yes, I started to work
on MindForger and relased it at the end of May.
I used MindRaider on daily basis for years, but it became obsolete
(technology, performance, future perspective, ...). Therefore I decided
to start a new project and rewrite it from scratch.
MindForger is MindRaider successor - it provides all MindRaider
features - except knowledge graph rendering (force-driven graph)
which I would like to release in upcoming months.
I work on MindForger full-time for 6 months. It’s FLOSS and hope
for its bright future.
If you are/was/want to be MindRaider/MindForger user please
don’t hesitate to contact me - I will be happy to help. If you have
any suggestions, bug report, constructive critics drop me an email
or post issue on GitHub.
