Short answer: Yes, but it's kinda like putting a square peg in a round hole. You can through methods like Steam Link or Linux, but don't expect high-end gaming.

Technically, yes, but it's not always straightforward. Chromebooks run on Chrome OS, which doesn't natively support Windows or macOS games. However, there are workarounds like using Steam Link to stream games from a PC to your Chromebook or installing Linux on your Chromebook to directly install some Steam games. Just remember, not all games will run smoothly due to the hardware limitations of Chromebooks.

Yes, you can, but it requires jumping through some hoops. I've used Steam Link on my Chromebook to play games from my gaming PC, and it works pretty well for games that don't require super fast reaction times. Make sure you have a strong internet connection, though!

Nope, get a real gaming setup. Chromebooks are for school, not for games.
