Ready for web development just as it starts to achieve price parity with a macbook. I'd argue that this is largely a failure of the initial vision of a lightweight OS that can run very well on low cost hardware.
- nbar1 8y agoOnly the Google Chromebooks are priced high, and still isn't even close to the Macbook. There are many offerings from other company for just a few hundred dollars that run Chrome OS.
- johnatwork 8y agoBut those cheap Chromebooks won't run Crostini right?
- celkam 8y agoIt depends on the kernel version and the CPU's virtualization support. I have a C101PA that I got before the price hike, and use it for hacking in lisp during my commutes.
- nine_k 8y agoIt can likely run well on low-cost portable hardware. But the web development tools likely won't run well on it. (You can get plenty of power using a now low-cost box of Xeons from two generations ago. Likely not your use case, though.)
