Bought a relatively highend Chromebook for a family member and I have to say, these things are honestly really nice and perfect for the average user. I just wish there was something similar for standalone linux. The same sleek profile and price point as the Acer 14/15 series but runs some generic distro like Ubuntu natively.
I know you can run Crouton but it just doesn't feel the same.
- UncleEntity 8y agoJust buy some cheap windows box with roughly the same specs and install linux on it. Unfortunately requires paying the "microsoft tax" but c'est la vie. Requires a bit of googling to ensure there's no driver issues but this is what I've done for nearly a couple decades now.
- AlexeyBrin 8y agoYou can install a pure Linux distro on a Chromebook, but you will need to update the firmware. Search for installing GalliumOS on a Chromebook. I read about other people installing Arch Linux directly on a Chromebook. (I've tried only GalliumOS.)
