Not at all, a Chromebook let's you run Linux apps. I can run full blown IDEs locally without problems. And yes, that is with 8Gb ram, ChromeOS has superb memory management.
- hollerith 2y agoSince the full blown IDE is running in a Linux VM, don't you mean, "Linux has superb memory management"?
- nolist_policy 2y agoWell, Google developed and deployed MGLRU to Chromebooks long before upstreamed it. Plus they use some magic to check the MGLRU working set size inside the VMs and balance everything.
- hollerith 2y agoNow I see. Interesting. (I'm planning to switch to ChromeOS, BTW.)
