Hi Paul,

It *is* possible!  I've got it running on one of my Chromebooks, a Pixelbook
model.  (I gave my 2015 Pixel LS to my wife; I've yet to try it on that
one.)  See the attached image.

You'll likely need to install a Linux container, which is how I got it to
work.  (I didn't try to get it running in the native Linux OS, which I
believe is a modified Gentoo.)

You can have an icon associated with it; if you do, you can pin it to your
icon tray and launch Pharo that way -- which is what I do.  (You should be
able to see the icon in my image.)  I have a script that generates a
'.desktop' file with an icon, which is how I think I got this to work.  (I'm
about to rewrite the script; the first attempt was a hack extracted from a
script suite I wrote, and Pharo deserves better.)

One thing you'll want to do is correct for the 4K display.  I have a script
that automates enlarging the pointer arrow at
https://github.com/tbrunz/pharo-support (which also has the above-mentioned
script), but I just finished it and haven't yet tested it on a Chromebook
install.
