> $200 Chromebook chrooted into Debian

Are there even any x86 Chromebooks left at that price point? They are only one that are still capable of chrooting into Linux. ARM Chromebooks remain locked up.

Looking at BestBuy, category chromebook, the first one that comes up is $150, intel n4500.

I don't know if this is particularly current or what, or if it's easy to setup to run another OS or whatever, but it meets your price and architecture criteria.

ARM chromebooks run the Debian containers just fine. It's just at settings toggle to enable it and you don't even need dev mode.

There were a bunch of intel atom ones IIRC. I got my degree with a used EEEpc with one of those.
