well if we weren't already known for being unreasonably fond of our unlocked linux pixelbook we probably will be

. . . we got another one because lightly used ones are pretty cheap right now and this one has a significantly less degraded battery (plus it's the higher storage model!)

anyways this is all to say if you or someone in your life has a chromebook lying around definitely look up their model and see if it's got trackpad+wifi support in linux, they can be lovely little machines with a bit of help (even if unlocking the firmware write protect is a bit of a pain — you've only gotta do that once)
