Thanks for doing that, Jeremiah. If I find some time, I’m going run a Power Wash ( aka wipe and reset system to factory defaults ) on one of my systems to see what the result is with the Terminal App.
Of course, my question is still, what is the question from JM R that we are trying to answer? As an aside, IMHO, to really get comfortable with a Chromebook, one should do a Power Wash daily for a month. During that time you’ll discover what settings and features do and do not get saved to the cloud. For example, the Linux Development Environment and Android Development settings need to be re-enabled after each Power Wash.
