chrome OS is pretty limited from what i have heard. i'd rather use a lightweight linux distro

Use Linux instead. Chrome OS is only good for laptops that can't run anything else.

Entirely agree regarding trying Linux if you are wanting an OS and are trying to reduce costs.  Different people I am sure will have different opinions, however I recently converted an old laptop of mine to Linux and found Ubuntu 17.10 really easy to setup and use.
