TBH, a Linux box with a nice UI and all hardware well supported out of the box sounds like something we would have dreamed about 10 years ago.
Chrome OS devices are seriously underrated.
- jrm4 3y agoMy first instinct was to reply "nah," because of how unfriendly to geeks they are compared to Linux -- but on the other hand, I must admit they are much better than Windows and much cheaper than Macs, so I suppose this is fair.
- _ea1k 3y agoHonestly, I've played with one quite a bit, and I wouldn't even say that are _that_ unfriendly to geeks. Root, vs code, npm, etc all run perfectly out of the box. It is more limiting if you want virtualization or even just containers, but that isn't always a requirement.
- seabrookmx 3y agoDocker runs fine under the ChromeOS Linux environment. Vanilla VM's are an issue because the Linux environment is itself a VM, and nested virtualization has lots of quirks.
