It's an interesting hobby if you get into it. There are hundreds of variations when you count things like distributions, desktop environments and so on, but there's only a few core mainstream "families" where you get down to it. For something like an old Chromebook it's basically decided for you since there's only specific variants made for it.

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of hardware to even put Linux on. Talking with the users on the other post piqued my curiosity a little. We'll see. Thanks for clearing some stuff up for me.
