ChatGPT says that the most straightforward way to do what your friend wants to do is to install a full Linux on the Chromebook (can be done via a USB stick) and use something like N1MM+ (which can be run under Linux), assuming his Chromebook is new enough to have a usable USB port for the rig control.

ChatGPT also says, though, that Chromebooks are notoriously RF noisy and the setup may require ferrites on all the cables.

Just a thought ...

Apparently there are web-based loggers out there as an alternative, but not necessarily with rig control.

My very long-time pal, Gary, W1ECH, has a Chromebook laptop and he wants to
operate in SS.  I'm looking for suggestions for software that he might use.
Note this thing does not run windows software, sadly.
