Having full Linux desktop apps via Crostini, and Android apps via both virtualization and streaming (really needs to be more consistent though, at best it only works 10% of the time for me) it has a lot of capability. I just wish Adobe would do full native Linux applications, specifically Lightroom. I only really use it for catalog management, but every time I look for alternatives they all say that's an aspect where Lightroom wins. It would also be nice to have some actual network browsing capability in the Files app instead of drilling through menus to connect to an SMB share from my NAS. And Synology having a ChromeOS optimized Drive client would be cool.
