Your note about Chromebooks here is good. I don't have a
Chromebook
and do not know the main issues faced on those systems.
Re-reading, I don't grok this. The compression of the installation
disk or live image is irrelevant to how big the disk of the *target*
machine is. I don't think you'd ever store the live image on a VM,
and even on the chromebook, if it is used for download and needs to
store a temporary copy, a few percent difference wouldn't really matter.
(A permanent difference in installed size would be more meaningful,
but that's not what we're talking about here.)
