Like what? The lack of all desktop software? It is only even halfway decent if you live out of a web browser.
- abnry 7y agoWith crostini you can now run linux apps. It is still in beta.
- zchrykng 7y agoAh, good to know. Haven't tried Chromebooks in a while because I didn't want only a browser. Might revisit when this hits stable.
- computerex 7y agoIt's a dirty dirty myth that you can only run Chrome in ChromeOS: https://github.com/skycocker/chromebrew https://github.com/skycocker/chromebrew You don't even need Crostini.
- numbsafari 7y agoYeah, I was running Firefox via crostini for a while and it worked really well.
