This would be more appealing if apple didn't go out of their way to prevent you from running real software. As dumb as chromebooks are, at least they let you run normal linux in a vm, apparently with decent integration into the desktop and everything, now.

or just directly run linux. I have an old chromebook running gallium os and it gets better battery life than chrome os as a browser with a keyboard and mouse

last time i tried gallium os, it sucked big time. didn't even support hidpi. have they fixed that yet? is it still based on xfce?

i'd test fedora before resorting to gallium

it's still xfce with i think alternatives oob now, but if the chromebook has decent ram definitely go elsewhere

support for firmware and other models is way better now, and the hardware is beefier even for cheap models, so there should be better os and hardware options available

there was a period in 1988–89 where the PC industry was just in incredible flux so you had the craziest poo poo

like oh, you want a cheap computer, but you want good graphics, here’s a 640KB PC-XT compatible running at 15MHz with a 20MB hard disk... and VGA graphics
