IntelliJ on a pixelbook?
Answered
The Google Pixelbook now supports running linux applications within a linux container. I've played around with it a little with the goal of getting IntelliJ working.
I initially installed snapd with the hope that I could run IntelliJ that way - it failed and I believe it was because I was attempting to run a container within a container and this is locked down from a security perspective?
Has anyone managed to get IntelliJ working on a Pixelbook? What steps did you use to do so?
I really believe this could be my future preferred way to write software and I imagine many others do too.

If you still can't get it working, asking for help at https://www.reddit.com/r/Crostini/ may be a good idea.
I'd love for JB to have a native offering on Chromebook. I can do the setup, but I'd rather not if I can just use the Toolbox.

Instead of Android OS, what about an implementation on Chrome OS?
For Dev on Chromeos you can use my setup tool: https://github.com/andrewbrg/deb9-dev-machine
PHP Storm is a part of it, the only thing is that lately the IDE has been running so slow in crostini...
