Follow-up question: if i got a Chromebook and wanted to put a distro on it that does what ChromeOS does, what distro would you reccomend? Just to be clear, I strongly dislike Chrome but depend on Google apps for my schoolwork and my job, which is why I’m looking at a Chromebook at all.
For what it’s worth, what you use a Chromebook for doesn’t have to be limited to just Google’s ecosystem. While it’s going to be optimized for it, you can do pretty much anything you’d normally use Chrome for on a standard desktop OS (with the exception of any advanced things that may require specific hardware/software to run, like some browser games). If all you do on the internet is browse social media and chat with friends, it’ll cover most of your basic needs.
Mine’s my toilet computer. Gonna be on the can for a while? Might as well scroll through Lemmy in the meantime.
