draft - i gotta say, chromeOS is feeling a little bit paltry. i mean, yes, they're trying to be sort of "light weight". but can't they also just be a "newer" operating system than the old behemoths? like, let us have lacros AND multiple users. i mean maybe they will when it gets out of beta. but yeah.

"Signing in a second user is not supported while the Lacros browser is running. Please use a second browser profile in Lacros instead or close Lacros and try again."

I enabled #Lacros on my Asus #Chromebook and set it to be the primary browser.
Tests out really well.
I will now get browser updates and PeacockTV is still accessible.

Using my #Chromebook for notes at #OLFconference. Heresy! But I see lots of Macbooks, too. I can't beat it for the battery life. Plus I only use it to access #mastodon and my Linux #homelab apps. I promise. 🤞

I have an old Chromebook that just lost all it's updates (Like last month, Aug 2023 was when support ended for it).
I tried to put Linux on it, but turns out it is ARM based (if I would have know that when I bought it I wouldn't have bout it).
I did get PrawnOS Arm64 to install, but WiFi doesn't work.
Anyone know of any other #ARM based OSes that might work?
Most of the ARM based distros seem to be centered around the Raspberry PI & don't even boot on this thing.

I hate to admit it but the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 #Chromebook detachable/tablet hybrid is hands down the best travel device I've ever owned. The built-in #debian environment gives me full access to all my development tools while traveling, it's ARM so all the Android apps I use run flawlessly, and battery life is incredible. Also, #ChromeOS has gotten surprisingly good. 😬

Look at this open source tech #Google made so all the #crostini interop works! It's impressive.

#Upadek plecaka z chromebookiem z wysokości ok. 1m na wykafelkowaną podłogę (ale grzmotnął!) spowodował odblokowanie w komputerku ficzera, którego od początku mi brakowało – otóż wreszcie mogę ustawić ekran pod dowolnym kątem (mniejszym niż 180 stopni ;)). Co ciekawe, komputerek działa jak działał, ekran w całości, żadnych luzów, na obudowie ani jednej rysy, nic w środku ne grzechocze. Nawet chciałem zrobić przegląd organów wewnętrznych, ale to sprzęt typu "zniszcz żeby otworzyć", zatem odpuściłem. Takie drobne szczęście w ten beznadziejny pogodowo i nastrojowo dzień.

Good piece in WSJ about Chromebooks' short shelf life meaning they rapidly become e-waste. Schools have to pay to have them carted off when they die after 3 years. (Low management costs while in operation still are notable advantage vs Mac/Windows PCs IMO.) https://www.wsj.com/tech/personal-tech/chromebooks-were-once-a-good-deal-for-schools-now-theyre-becoming-e-waste-dc93833b
