Is Chrome Os Good for Coding?
Contents

Chromebooks are the machine that many young people have, and are the machine that they can afford. So ideally Chromebooks should enable them to start their coding and data science journey with as little friction as possible. Today Chromebooks work well when using browser-based cloud tools.

Can you code on Chrome OS?

So, yes. All of your code will be stored in the cloud somewhere depending on what web service you use to write it. Open a google doc and start typing code on a chromebook. You can also type your code in web services like github, JS fiddle, or the developer tools in the chrome browser.

Can you use Python on a Chromebook?

A Chromebook runs ChromeOS as its operating system and historically running anything other than a web app–such as Python–was challenging. However, that is no longer the case! You can now run Linux apps on ChromeOS which opens the door to using MiniConda to install Python 3.
