Not sure if you can do this on a Chromebook, but I set up samba shares on my Pi and connect to it using my desktop PC. This way I can use all my beloved programs and tools on my PC and then run it through my Pi.
I know he's talking about the cost and not necessarily being able to afford a full fledged PC, but this could work for some.
- headmelted 10y agoThat's definitely an option, too! At that point you might also look into connecting over a remote desktop/vnc/ssh session, which has surprisingly solid support on Chrome OS these days. I've heard from a lot of friends that this makes their Chromebook their road warrior of choice (connectivity allowing obviously).
- andrioni 10y agoYeah, I do this every day: I treat my work laptop as a desktop, and just remote desktop into it from a Chromebook (or a Macbook, depending on where I am) whenever I want to work remote.
