I found this, I'm wanting to get a pixel tablet in about a week or so. Title just got me wondering a bit, though it's probably just a little bit sensationalized

I just installed GalliumOS on some old chrome books I had laying around. It's worked flawlessly. I think the battery life is even better.

I wonder how it would do on on a tablet.

I don't recommend galliumos anymore, it is an abandoned project and hasn't seen development since 2021.

If your Chromebook is compatible you can flash a full ROM bios and convert your Chromebook to a normal laptop and run full Linux or depending on the device windows 10/11.

Mrchromebox's firmware is such a game changer for making Chromebooks usefully.

To add on to what you said, you can also install OSX onto Intel based Chromebooks. Not that I find this useful, I just like being able to say I did it to see if it was possible.
