We need to go back to making everything available offline, and use local compute power. Chromebooks and the ChromeOS are useless really in offline mode unless you are technical expert. The Linux container and Android support is abysmal unless you have the fastest and most powerful chromebook. At which point you should just get a Windows machine with WSL and WSA, or a Macbook.
- refulgentis 3y agoNot true at all in my experience re:speed, it's really bizarre to me how often people assert that without even a token anecdote. It's not the same speed as your average devs machine but doesn't mean it's any slower than WSL on the same hardware
- sirjaz 3y agoYou still need the fastest hardware. It would be better if Google just released a true Linux desktop and killed ChromeOS all together. This would allow native application install and better hw support.
- refulgentis 3y agoIt does? I'm confused
- jeffbee 3y agoI can't think of one single way in which a Chromebook is less useful when offline than a laptop running some other operating system.
- mouse_ 3y agoGoogle can't decide if they want it to be a cloud-terminal thin client OS or a powerful Windows-competitor, so we get the worst of both worlds.
