Chromebook General

crouton no good?

I have pic related. Toshiba Chromebook 2. Best $270 I've spent in a while. It's track pad is great. Has multi finger input for scrolling and zooming. Plus having a replaceable m.2 sata is nice compared to cheaper models with EMMC.

Unsure if gallium works.

What's the model number on that Senpai?

I keep reading the the higher spec version of the chrome book 2 is great but the lower spec one is dodge

I've got an Acer cb3-131 and the track pad is really good, I only wish the shortcuts worked in Linux. I've never installed GalliumOS so I'm not sure, I run Debian on mine.

Crouton is ok but since it's technically running on top of ChromeOS there can be weird issues with sound, USB, and software issues depending on what you're trying to do. If you want a full fledged Linux machine you can reflash the bios, but that requires some setup and flat out won't work on some models.

I have the one with the Celeron 3215u in it. Runs fine for me. I get close to 14 hours of use out of it per charge with 50% screen brightness and moderate use. Around 7 hours use when watching movies streamed from my server at 70% brightness. It really is a good machine. Plus has active cooling fan that kicks on when necessary. No passively cooled garbage.

Got an Acer CB-131 the other day to replace my broken laptop until I can get the cash to properly replace it. Why should I replace the OS Cred Forums?

If you need a machine that can do more than stream video from the internet or a server, browse the web, or type a document.

As in you need a proper file manager, the ability to edit and configure storage and media properly, etc.

ChromeOS is the perfect mix of media consumption and productivity for my school needs. All my real work gets done on the desktop anyway.

Thanks guys.

I've got that model and I would personally choose to run crouton. It will work for most cases, just don't attempt 1080p playback.

Are you Russian?

No, you didn't. Delete yourself and your paid Chromebook shilling thread.

Are there any reliable builds of ChromiumOS for x86?

I'm think of giving it a try, probably installing it on my relatives -desktop-
I'm not afraid of adding missing kernel modules but I don't want to go through the whole process of building the OS

Sorry to tell you all the shills are volunteers.
They are all desperate to be in a position where thay can brag that they protect the Chromebook's reputation against truth.
Something to do with crippled egos and diminished self-worth.
