How to install GalliumOS on a chromebook using Chrx
- digikazi 7y agoThank you for that. My chromebook is fast approaching the end of its life and will stop getting updates, so I found that quite useful!
- djbeadle 7y agoCan anyone recommend a small, durable Chromebook (or other laptop) that plays well with Linux? The Dell XPS-13 looks amazing but that’s a little over my budget at the moment. I’ve been coding on an iPad Pro via SSH but would like to have a full Linux desktop environment.
- sneak 7y agoWhat editor do you use? How do you cope with lack of ESC? Are you using vim with the jj insert mode trick? I ask because I would really like to make this work but haven’t found the sweet spot yet.
- connorcodes 7y agoI use Vim and sometimes VScodium. for some reason `ctrl-C` gets you out of insert mode. That's been my little hack.
- djbeadle 7y agoIn Vim CTRL + [ is the same as pressing the escape key, it took me a couple days, but now it doesn’t bother me in the slightest. I’ve been using a combination of (Python shell & IDE), Working Copy (Git, can monitor and commit changes a folder in your iCloud Drive which Pythonista can also access), and Termius for ssh. I’ve been trying to figure out how to fit Buffer (editing files on remote server via ssh) into my workflow but haven’t yet. It’s not perfect, but I like traveling with my iPad more than my MacBook Pro because it’s smaller and as an added bonus I can also edit photos from my DSLR on it.
- djbeadle 7y agoWhoops, I meant to say that I’ve been using Pythonista (which is a Python shell & basic IDE)
