Hardware acceleration for video so the battery doesn't die a quick and noisy death (like with Chrome or Firefox on a normal Linux distribution).



This has been the big difference for me of using a Chromebook+Crostini vs installing Linux on a typical PC. The battery life on the chromebook just lasts forever and is buttery smooth out of the box while the laptops with linux installed have always had markedly worse battery life than when running their intended OS in my experience.


Same contrast between a very powerful Windows laptop and a chrome book. Windows still feels choppy compared to the chrome book.
