Windows has gotten so bad that my family, who has been reticent about the switch since 2004, has finally given in and is swapping! So far I got them to agree with ChromeOS Flex (booo, but still better than windows) and Bazzite!

    They don’t make this easy to do. I convinced my boss to let me put Linux on some chrome books that we just use for presenters to read from.

    It involves disconnecting the battery and some other stupid shit that the boss wasn’t going to approve me doing.

    So they stayed on ChromeOS.

    People talk about Apple locking their shit down a lot, but I never had to open up a MacBook to install Linux.

      Yeah you gotta get chromebox firmware on there and everything. I’m sure it’s a struggle but like for the price and power efficiency, it’s great. It’s a shame schools throw out pallets of Chromebooks because they’re out of date. Google singlehandedly contributing tons of waste every year
