Are you also aware of 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.
