Please, I need more details.
- which chromebook do you have?
- how do you run your dev stack?
- Can it handle developing a node + react app?
- insanitybit 3y agoMy Chromebook is not available for purchase anymore but it's just some Dell laptop. 4 cores, 32GB of RAM, SSD. I run my development stack in the debian VM provided by ChromeOS. Absolutely handles developing node/react.
- xmonkee 3y agoSo you installed ChromeOS on a non-chromebook, yeah? That's a wild alternative to a linux laptop. I will try this out
- insanitybit 3y agoNope, I bought the Chromebook from Dell. I'd link it to you but they haven't sold it for a few years - it was the only option with 32GB of RAM. Now there's Framework laptops though.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoFramework Chromebooks feature 8GiB RAM. Chromebooks, in general, require less RAM to operate than a PC or Mac. So don't overestimate the gobs of RAM you'll need. By the same token, it is much less common for vendors to build Chromebooks with large amounts of RAM. Mine is a cloud gaming machine!
- IE6 3y agoAny chromebook that supports crostini will allow you to run linux (debian by default) and allow you to use many dev tools. I build node stuff all the time on chromeos. I have a Framework Chromebook.
