Chrome OS Flex is the most convenient way to repurpose your system without falling down the Linux rabbit hole. Chrome OS Flex also provides a functional experience straight out of the box, with all of your browsing data synchronized with the rest of your Chrome-friendly devices. With Chrome OS Flex now branded as a developer-focused preview, it may take some time to smooth out all the quirks, but once it reaches its stable version, there should be few to no complaints.
