Would a Chromebook running Linux handle android studio?

129 views Asked by At

I'm going to get a Chromebook probably with a Celeron processor and probably 4GB of RAM and use it for school, as a replacement for my worn windows laptop, but I'm wondering if I'd be able to run Android Studio and possibly other software on it. I don't plan on doing any android dev with it, I just need it to compile LibGDX Gradle builds while I'm bored, coding at school. Would this be possible? If not, is there an alt to Android Studio on Linux that would allow me to compile and build my code? If that's not possible, would it be practical to RDP to my PC at home or something?
