The file format for a Chromebook is typically .exe, but those don’t run well there. You can convert them into compatible formats like .zip or .pdf using conversion tools.

Chromebooks are limited to apps from the Chrome Web Store. As a Linux-based system, they don’t natively support running executables unless installed through that store.

ChromeOS relies on Gentoo, which depends on source builds. Google doesn’t provide the required utilities for this platform, and that’s not something Yiud prefers. The nearest option is a web-based application.

They’re still clinging to 2016? Chromebooks got Google Play Store support, letting users run Android apps on x86 or ARM devices. You could sideload APK files for ages, with around 20 major Chrome versions available—like ChromeOS 67 and beyond. Around the same period, a Linux beta terminal was added, enabling Linux applications to run. This means nearly 20 Chrome updates plus options to install full Linux distributions with tools like Crouton or crostini, or simply set up a standard UEFI for whatever you need. If you want more storage, I can assist with setting that up. My laptop is currently either a custom UEFI Chromebook with a full Xubuntu installation or another one that’s not quite as good.

In fact, the Android apps aren't running on x86 native, the terminal lacks a package manager as far as I understand it, and Crouton crostini are essentially workarounds at best, since UEFI only supports x86 systems.

It has APT support available. The device works well and runs smoothly, making it easy to switch between desktop Linux and ChromeOS. Most Chromebooks are now based on Atom or Celeron, though a few exceptions exist, so running the Mrchromebox.tech script is feasible.

Alright, I've realized my mistake and won't mention chromebooks anymore because I don't plan to use one.
