Are you also aware of Crouton?
https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton
Starting from a mainstream Linux base will make this problem and many more go
away.
Even better would be if your Chromebook supported Crostini:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/master/containers_and_vms.md
That requires hardware virtualization support, however, because it’s based on
Linux container technology. That rules out a bunch of otherwise good machines
which work fine with the less ambitious Crouton system.
Unfortunately, the Lenovo N21 isn’t listed here:
https://dev.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-for-chrome-os-devices
…which means I can’t predict whether Crostini will work. Its closest listed
neighbors in the numbering scheme give a split: the N20 isn’t supported, but
the N23 is. Being about 3 years old, I would bet against that machine having
Crostini support, but it’s possible they put an uncommonly capable processor
into that model.
