I agree, Linux laptops for everyone! Especially when we have immutable OS like Fedora Silverblue or Bazzite.

The Linux container is sand-boxed. but the chrome browser does by default send a lot of metrics back to Google.

EDIT: I only bought this device for experiments. It is a very low end, efficient laptop. I don't use it for anything else.

I recently started using my Chromebook more and was struggling to find a way to make the video playback smoother when using mpv running on ChromeOS.

I quickly realized the default config doesn't use hardware accel on ChromeOS as it is disabled for crostini.

I wrote a guide on how to enable it and use a custom config to enhance the user experience.

GitHub repo is a fork modified to enable mpv hw accel support in crostini.

I recently unlisted my number. I hate TC as well, they have dark patterns everywhere. They are so fishy. They keep pushing the premium version on you and the number of *adverts *they show on the free version is unbearable.

That is true! The rise of right wing billionaire funded regimes is not a mistake but a slow tip towards an actual nightmare for many.

It's shocking to witness what's happening in the US of A as an outsider.

I installed Rocky linux on my new server instance today and I found out that vnstat is not available as a package in the repos. It used to be available on the older versions. 😭 It's been a while since I got back to Linux for my personal use.
