A Linux laptop that forces the user to log into Google in order to use their Linux laptop.
Am I correct? I can't imagine I'm not since there's no way ChromeOS's security model would work otherwise.
- iams- 8y agoNo. You're not correct. All chromebooks can be run in guest mode which requires no login at all. Google has a long-standing bounty on the security of guest-mode.
- jancsika 8y agoSo we've redefined "Linux laptop" to mean a system that returns to the base Debian install any time I log out or reboot? On the other hand, Chromebooks are cheap. So it might be a fun exercise to post a script on github that installs my development environment packages.
