Very informative thread popped up on HN 2 days ago:

It's about how Chromebooks have now started to outsell Macbooks.

Plenty of folks describing their setups there. Seems like Crouton or
dual-boot are still the main ways. Crouton sounds nice, although wasn't
there some risk of wiping the system at boot? Yes, just checked the
thread and if any of your children or cats mush the keyboard on startup
you can wipe your system in dev mode.
