🆕 blog post --

Following news of the Google Chrome browser redesign, I see a new feature in ChromeOS 117. It’s the progression of Google Tasks on #Chromebooks. This has been in the works for at least 5 months as a complement to the native Calendar feature in ChromeOS. Google Tasks will be integrated as a ChromeOS widget, just like the Calendar. And #ChromeOS 117 shows a glimpse of this #Google Tasks glanceable feature.

🆕 blog post -- Here comes the Chrome browser Material You redesign

To celebrate the 15th birthday of its #Chrome browser, #Google announced a number of upgrades on Thursday. These include the Chrome browser Material You redesign, a new coat of paint on the Chrome Web Store, and ways to make searching the web easier. All of these changes will also filter down to #ChromeOS and #Chromebooks.

Google Reportedly Kills Chromebooks with Nvidia GPUs (Difficulty of integrating Nvidia drivers cited): https://www.tomshardware.com/news/google-reportedly-kills-chromebooks-with-nvidia-gpus #linux #linuxgaming #update #gaming #chromebooks #chromeos #termination #google

My 2013 #Macbook Pro is limping along with a bad battery. Its repairability score on iFixit is 1/10 - so frustrating that #Apple makes this so difficult to repair. I really want an inexpensive laptop with a high-quality display for #Fedora #Silverblue or #Ublue. I only care about screen quality as this will be a light-duty laptop. Can Linux be installed on #Chromebooks? Or should I find a used Macbook Air with a retina display?
