- cmdrfred 10y agoI have a cheap chromebook with Crouton and I'm very happy for the price. Cheap, light and I get about 10 hours of battery life.

- lttlrck 10y agoHow is the default battery life? I had to use pretty aggressive tlp settings to get within 50% of what windows gets on an XPS out of the box.

- ZoF 10y agoYeah, I was just joking really. (Although it's true, if by 'year of the linux desktop' you mean 'year it gets >10% marketshare') My NAS runs CentOS and I have Arch/Ubuntu on my home pc's, but I still dual boot Windows on one because gaming. The 'I wonder who else will switch to Debian 8 like me' just struck me as comical. I would be extremely surprised if MS lost any meaningful amount of marketshare from Win10, especially to linux distros.
