Very specific Chromebooks fit the bill as well. One that works particularly well is the Acer C720.
Edit: wanted to clarify that this C720 is my current personal portable. My other is a custom built desktop also running Ubuntu.
- aaron-lebo 12y agoWhat distro are you running on the c720? Getting arch to run required loading up modified kernels, none of which ever worked and I just gave up.
- mattkrea 12y agoSince I can't reply to 'aaron-lebo" in the app I'm using: I'm running Ubuntu and a set of kernel modules I can link later but they are the very same that were then altered for Arch ( which I also tried but had some problems with ). These have carried me from 13.04-14.04 and I'm hoping the 3.17 kernel will be included soon because these components are built right into that kernel version AFAIK.
- pervycreeper 12y agoNo (non-chrome) distro currently works out of the box on the c720 (at least among the x64 variants). The most convenient solution at the moment involves recompiling the kernel after every security upgrade, which is hardly ideal.
- mattkrea 12y agoWhile technically you're right the worst I have to do is pay attention when a kernel upgrade is part of apt-get dist-upgrade and then run a single script then reboot.
- pervycreeper 12y ago>the worst I have to do is pay attention Well, that does kinda destroy the convenience of apt.
