I just tried it.

It is nothing but OpenSUSE with an added Chromium browser.  The desktop is
branded with a familiar Google Chrome logo.  At bootup, it launches the
Chromium browser prepopulated with familiar google products.

I do NOT think this will help in your preparedness for learning about a
Chromebook.

The OpenSUSE build is 12.2 (from around 2012?) ..I had trouble accessing some
updates to install specific "action" games.  Even so, those games would likely
only be designed around linux OpenSUSE anyway.

For an up to date experience with OpenSUSE, it would be best to grab the
latest version and play with that in Live CD mode if you want.  But the
environment is NOT anything like a Chromebook.
