Swap from Debian to Ubuntu as Linux image on Pixel Slate Chromebook
This might be a little detailed for most, feel free to don your peril-sensitive sunglasses. So, no offence to Debian 9.6 Stretch, but the rest of the fleet runs Ubuntu, which is very similar, but, well, some packages are different.
