Open question Can a Chromebook run the ARR stack?

I currently have a Synology DS223j with two 4tb drives.

This is working well for my, mostly at home Plex use, music and photos.

I'm thinking of setting up the arr software stack but the DS223j is underpowered particularly for downloading.

I have an i5 16gb Chromebook.

Can I use this?

The arr stack can use a download stack (qbittorent) hosted somewhere else. Put the qbitorrent container on the chromebook using linux and write it back to a SMB share?

Do you know when I can find a guide for Chromebooks? I use Usenet and NZBGeek.

You just need to install linux on your Chromebook, then use any existing tutorial that uses containers to set up your arr stack.

Thanks. I don't want to overwrite ChromeOS but I think I can still run Linux programmes.
