I haven’t installed LC on chrombook. But I did install XOJO.
Only it turns out you can’t run XOJO in ChromeOS’ Linux because of missing dependencies and you don’t have access to install. The solution up to dual-boot in GalliumOS which is specifically tailored to chromebooks. Easy to find tutorials online on how-to.
It was then easy to install the Debian package. I presume all of this holds true more or less for LC.
Ultimately I gave up on it because chrome hardware is underpowered - it runs ChromeOS beautifully but the cheap Asus chromebook I have just struggled with “proper” software. Plus storage is usually very limited on such devices and i ended up calling it a day on an interesting experiment.
This was 2-3 years ago and perhaps things may have changed. YMMV…
