ChromeOS is Linux-based operating system. I don't know, what exactly is different

.deb packages are not any ultra proprietary, extra DRM-protected things. It is
just .tar.gz archive enclosed in the ar archive. So, you can easily extract
files from the .deb package, copy them to your chromebook and execute them. I
don't expect dependency on too many libraries.

Actually, ChromeOS only uses the Linux /kernel/ but is not a Linux
distribution in any way, shape or form.
No shell, no utilities, no package manager ala apt-get. It boots
directly into Chrome and that is the only application that is permitted
to run on it. Any "apps" must be written as Chrome extensions and have
very limited ability to run directly on the kernel. Google intends
everything to be written in HTML5/Javascript.
I won't even mention how Google reads almost everything to serve you
"better ads."
