I directed a family member to move to Chromebook becasue she had endless problems with a PC. As far as I know, you are limited to what the Chrome store has to offer or what you can find in-browser. I’ve heard people recommend [tinkerCAD](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tinkercad/bhggmehigifnpflipbkdfcjiacpcgidn?hl=en)for beginners to cut their teeth on but I’ve never used it. Here’s a [reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/CNC/comments/aizatc/free_and_open_source_camcnc_software/) with a ton of good links, some of which may be online tools. Just my $0.02 but I think you’re going to have a difficult time sticking to just a Chromebook. I’d be very impressed to see someone’s workflow 100% on a Chromebook but I feel like you will hit some limitations that a PC or Mac won’t have. ---
