@michael @shanselman @silverjam

Show threadMichael Brooks Nov 22, 2022

@michael @silverjam @shanselman someone gave a #chromebook which i have hardly even touched
afre they even remotely comparable? are either x86 or something different?

@pythagorus @michael @silverjam a Chromebook is a Google Arm Linux distro, so similar but not open unless you crack it open. Raspberry Pi’s are wide open

@shanselman @michael @silverjam

a bit off the topic but then I can overwrite the chromebook os and install linux or maybe that is a waste...tbh I don't even know what the UI looks like i would expect a windows copy

@pythagorus @shanselman @silverjam chromeos is already Linux based. There’s a way to use terminal and run Linux programs. I think you could also format it and run another Linux OS or possibly dual boot. https://youtu.be/wMvJgHl7084
