I live in the Netherlands and could only get a Chromebook from the UK with the UK keyboard layout. Which is fine for normal situations as it has the qwerty layout and only the £, @, # and " symbols are shown in different keys. But I do have to type some norwegian sometimes. Even on models sold in Norway it is not obvious how to type those characters on a Chromebook even though the keyboard of a Chromebook shows the symbols (local staff in 2 stores did not know.
The only machine that I use is a Samsung Chromebook Plus and apart from running Docker, I can use it for my daily work review/research/develop activities. For me crouton is a life saver.
But is not the only option out there anymore ! My Chromebook Plus runs Android apps and now the Termux app for Android comes into play !
This app provides an Ubuntu based Linux emulator for Android phones/tablets and my Chromebook with larger screen and full keyboard make it really easy to use.
