You can't fuck up a Chromebook.
I've been using Linux distros on and off on personal and work computers for something like 15 years, I don't really want to deal with administration for a Linux machine unless I have to. Especially on a laptop, which like you said has power management challenges.
I'm typing this on a corp-managed Linux laptop and I get intermittent screen flickering that I would consider completely unacceptable from anything else. We have corp-managed Linux desktops and those sometimes just have the entire UI lock up if you use too much RAM. I did some Deep Learning work at home on a Ubuntu partition and that would also have the UI freeze up sometimes until I rebooted the computer.
- frostwhale 8y agoI try to avoid using a graphical display while doing deep learning (or any gpu intensive work). It reserves some, albeit not much, vram and while it shouldn't cause issues like the one you're stating, it definitely can.
- londons_explore 8y agoA bunch of chrome tabs can quickly use enough vram that a model which trained fine yesterday fails today. Sshing to the machine from another makes it far more consistent in that regard.
