- If ChromeOS is just a fork of Gentoo Linux, why can’t ChromeOS run Linux apps natively? Why do Linux apps have to run in a virtual machine?

How do package managers keep track of installed files?
With Chromebrew we just implemented a global manifest of package filelists. Everything is a flat file. You can browse ours here: https://github.com/chromebrew/chromebrew/tree/master/manifest

Vi gone from /usr/bin, terminal no longer in browser tab, vi under crostini gets extra keystrokes
Apparently works on a vanilla Chromebook, no Crouton or Crostini, but must be in developer mode as stated here: https://github.com/chromebrew/chromebrew
- Firefox added to chromebrew, allowing native Firefox on chrome os.

Crouton still dead? Worth the grief?
Have you tried chromebrew. Unlike crouton it seems to be in active development.
-
Functional difference between terminals?
Because it's not intended that ChromeOS users should need to modify the base operating system (e.g. to install software), it doesn't come with a package manager like apt or emerge. (However, you can install one if you want using something like Chromebrew* or Crouton*.)

What is your opinion on Linux?
You don't need to use CrOS Flex, you can use Brunch, it's another to run ChromeOS but also allows you to use Android Apps on it (Which is the key feature of ChromeOS imo).

I was gifted a chromebook a little while ago. Turns out, it's got something called grub and ubuntu on it. How do I get chromeOS back?
You may look into Brunch as the Chrome OS Flex is more limited. https://github.com/sebanc/brunch

How do updates work on Brunch? Can I update to a new Chrome OS version like I can on a Chromebook, or do I have to do something special?
AFAIK there is no auto-updater in Brunch. Read about the project here: https://github.com/sebanc/brunch. Ask questons in r/Brunchbook.
