I bought this Chromebook, so I can answer my own question: Yes, the Crostini Linux container runs great given this is a Chromebook that (FINALLY!) is configured with 16Gb of RAM. I have yet to encounter a Linux app that does not run on an ARM processor (vs Intel) I use LibreOffice, Gimp photo editor, Dolphin file manager, and Firefox-ESR browser so far. All run very fast.
