If you want to run ConTeXt "natively" on a Chromebook, you probably
need to run it on a cloud, right?

One thing that is not entirely clear to me is whether Chromebook is
running linux or not (that is: how wildly modified OS is it running).
At least it says
    your system "Linux armv7l"
Now the main question is whether the statically compiled binaries from
Debian are compatible with Chromebook or not.

In case they are not someone would need to compile new binaries on
regular basis (now that "regular basis" isn't that often as it used to
be, but you would need to do it at least once).
