Thanks Micheal,
I asked because I see that it is possible to put the Chromebook O/S on
an old piece of hardware. I have two old Dell laptops that could be
repurposed. The only problem is I have years of project that I want to
complete....

Mike,
Are you turning an old laptop into a Chromebook?

As of my last update in January 2022, Chrome OS doesn't have a
built-in
Linux mode like some other operating systems such as Ubuntu or
Fedora.
However, Chrome OS does support Linux applications through a
feature
called "Linux (Beta)".
To enable Linux (Beta) on your Chromebook, you can follow these
steps:
Click on the system tray in the bottom-right corner of the
screen.
Click on the gear icon to open Settings.
Scroll down and click on "Advanced" to expand the menu.
Look for "Developers" and click on "Developers tools" or
"Linux
(Beta)".
Follow the prompts to enable Linux (Beta) on your device.
Once enabled, you can access Linux applications through the
Terminal or by installing them from the Linux app store.
Keep in mind that enabling Linux (Beta) will require some system
resources and may change how your device operates, so be sure to
review
the implications before proceeding. Additionally, the steps might
vary
slightly depending on the version of Chrome OS you're using, but
they
should be similar.

enable your Linux mode, normal chrome OS process.
Then open your terminal and use apt update/apt install processes
to
install LibreOffice. It's a Debian shell.

I just did this for myself.
Enable the Linux side of your Chromebook. Then use apt to update
and
install.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you
from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze
button.
