For information -

SD, my HF contest logger, runs on Unix and Windows PCs. It's a 
character-based
(Console Window) Win11 program, running under wine/wineconsole on Unix. 
I maintain
it on a dual-boot Intel i5 NUC, with Ubuntu and Win11.

Insofar as Chromebook supports Unix, SD is an option - with support for 
all the
major contests (including SS), and hundreds of others.

SD is a single-user (unassisted), single-radio CW/SSB app, with 
rig-control and
WinKey support. It is up-to date.  The manual is a mere 18 pages - from
www.ei5di.com/sd/sd.pdf

Note: Configuring ports for rig-control and WinKey under Unix is not 
for Unix
novices.
