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 on my Asus 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 for notes at . Heresy! But I see lots of Macbooks, too. I can't beat it for the battery life. Plus I only use it to access and my Linux 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 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 detachable/tablet hybrid is hands down the best travel device I've ever owned. The built-in 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, has gotten surprisingly good. 😬

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

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.) wsj.com/tech/personal-tech/chr
