You're looking to set up Linux on your Acer Chromebook for Steam and other apps. You're considering Cronin and chroot, but aren't sure which fits your needs better. Chroot lets you switch environments inside the same system, while Cronin offers a more modern interface with better tooling. For a beginner, Cronin might be easier to get started with, but chroot gives more control if you're comfortable with it. As for desktop environments beyond basic Ubuntu, Ubuntu Desktop or XFCE are good choices. Let me know if you want a simple recommendation!
