Between the 2 chrome book laptops which has the better chipset?
I also notice the $79 model has one extra USB 2.0 & USB-C port.
Also the USB-C port on the $99 model supports up to 1920x1080@60Hz.
The $79 one supports up to 4096x2160@60Hz.

A couple of notes..
1. Developer Mode must be enabled for any of this to work.
2. This Chromebook does NOT support the ChromeOS "Beta Linux" feature from within ChromeOS.
3. This Chromebook is using a Gemini Lake Intel CPU -- What does that mean? TL;DR is that Chromebook devs broke Legacy Boot for Gemini Lake so the only way you can boot USB on these machines is via UEFI (which isn't a huge issue, just something to know because most guides will try to tell you to use legacy boot but this chromebook doesn't support that.)
4. This Chromebook uses CR50 write protection, disabling CR50 write protection (which is required to flash a bios that can boot USB from UEFI) REQUIRES OPENING THE LAPTOP CASE, DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY, then disabling write protection via mrchromebox's firmware script.
So.. If you're comfortable with all that, here are the links to get you going, note I'm intentionally not writing out a step by step guide because I don't want someone getting in over their head on this.

Once you've got the firmware flashed for USB UEFI boot you should be able to write whatever Linux image you want to a MicroSD or USB drive and boot from it. I picked Ubuntu and it's working great.
Is the performace with default gnome window manger tolerable? Or it is recommended to switch to something like xfce4 instead?

I'm running Ubuntu Budgie and resource wise it's pretty happy. XFCE4 should run decently but honestly I'd just try it out in a live usb mode and see how it works before committing to any specific UI.
This is the specs sheet. Better late than never lol
