Chromebooks are not PCs, right? They run Gentoo Linux. One of the clues in the #nytimesminicrossword today is “Chromebooks but not MacBooks”, and the 3 letter answer is “PCS”. I always thought of PCs as MS Windows on Intel hardware. Technically any of these devices used for personal use is a personal computer, but the old “Mac vs PC” was specific. Maybe it’s morphed into Apple hardware vs cheap commodity hardware. Or maybe the crossword just got it wrong. #macos #chromebook #linux

Celeron N3350 #chromebook running #debian on battery, with one core disabled and the other throttled to 800mhz. Running the one internal #wifi interface and a second on USB. 51h of battery? I'll take it.

Since I’ve heard about Libreboot maintainer’s plans to bring Chromebook support to their famed coreboot distribution, I thought it’s time to write something about what stuff is currently blocking modified Chromebooks from things “just working” on standard Linux distributions.

Was meinst du mit "Lautsprecher"-Treiber? Ausgabe über die eingebauten Lautsprecher ging nicht, über HDMI und Bluetooth schon? Hatte zuletzt ein fieses Erlebnis mit @lesensfreude|s gelinuxtem #Chromebook und #Alsa in dieser Richtung.
