Its based on chrome OS which mosly serves browsing needs with max ability to install extensions and some carry offline support.

You were right in being default .But chromebook could be used to install GNU/Linux on it . http://www.chromebook-linux.com/2011/11/how-to-install-gnulinux-on-your-html.html https://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/764181-how-to-install-linux-on-an-acer-c720-chromebook/ http://www.geek.com/apps/hps-chromebook-11-is-even-better-with-ubuntu-installed-1574172/ There are countless articles online , just search the right one for your model and distro. Final word is that google somehow subsidises thanks to OEM deals and give us a sleek device , why not run GNU/Linux on it !
