Running on a Chromebook

[moocow1452]

Hi there, I was mostly working with Online Classes with my C7 Chromebook, mostly because I'm a cheap skate, and I ran into nand2tetris and it seems like a really cool program. Anyway I can run the software setups either on a cloud IDE or somehow natively without going into Developer Mode? I can do it and work my way around in Chrubuntu or Crouton, but I wanted to keep it vanilla for the sake of Netflix and simplicity. Is that even an option?
