On the contrary, there are people that roam the world searching for devices to run Linux on. ChromeOS is just a extremely limited version of Linux, making it quite easy to install a full Linux OS.

Particularly interesting is "Crouton" which allows you to essentially install the Linux desktop that uses existing ChromeOS Kernal. Allowing you to have both without needing to reboot. There is also the standard dual boot and completely replace options.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with LabView's tools under Linux. But for C++/Java, GCC/Eclipse/Netbeans are just an apt-get away!
