May you can install Linux on your Chromebook Have a look at

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I've considered that before. I'm just not sure I'm proficient enough to be able to do that on my own. I can apparently buy laptops with Linux as the OS from a tech store where I live, so I may eventually go that route.

Hey, don't do that. I mean you can, sure, and it'll be a cheaper solution (by just a fraction) to omit the windows license.

If you haven't dipped your toes into Linux yet, but want to, do it on a machine where you aren't too worried if you screw the OS up and have to build a new one, it is not an extraordinary pain (like you had you're work there, only copies of your game saves, ecetera).

I'd screw around with the Chromebook, and when I'm good and ready, get a more powerful notebook.

I'm not sure about all flavors of Linux, but installing most is easier than windows. And if you luck out, you won't have to bring up the console, the new distros are so friggin tight. But I guess that is where the heart of it all is. I am super happy with Endeavour OS, and I mostly just copy paste commands (that I'm understanding better and better, the more I use it).
