Looking at installing linux / wiping out #ChromeOS on a Lenovo Duet [10"] (ARM) seen writeups for Mainline and Cadmium distros. Any experience or recommendations out there?
Why is Spotify suddenly being stupid and getting quiet when I get a ping on Mastodon?
It didn't used to do this.
Can someone give me a recommendation on which setting this could be? I internet searched a few times but don't seem to be looking in the right spots.
#ChromeOS #Spotify I can't imagine it's specifically Mastodon.

🆕 blog post: Sidekick on a Chromebook: A better browser for ChromeOS
After using a browser called Sidekick on a #Chromebook, I think #Google could learn a thing or two. I see Sidekick as how #ChromeOS browsing should be in many regards, when it comes to focus and productivity.

I buy long term as well, only I invest in software and platforms rather than hardware...

Chromebooks are, by design, a cheap and readily disposable piece of hardware. But with the integrated backup of the entire Linux container to Google Drive, your system can be restored in minutes to a different Chromebook...

🆕 blog post: Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook review: Exceeding expectations
After two weeks of using the latest entry-level #Lenovo #Chromebook, I’m impressed. It’s taken years to get here but Lenovo has delivered a sub-$350 #ChromeOS laptop that I truly enjoy using. Surprisingly, this laptop can nearly keep up with my daily workflow. And that means it will likely keep up with most people’s ChromeOS usage since I push the limits of my devices.

Been trying Chromebooks lately - new and refurbished from Amazon and Best Buy. Found a great 16" Acer with anti-glare screen and high refresh rate. The downfall of the whole thing - spongy noisy keyboard. Arghh. #chrome #chromeos #google #keyboard #chromebook
So the Chrome os Terminal app, where you interact with Crostini and such, got a big accessibility face lift recently! Now, while you type, ChromeVox isn't repeating every l e t t e r you type. Also, the terminal output is separated out into one element per line which you can just navigate like regular items. And clicking on a line puts you directly back into the text box to type another command. And yes, output is read automatically.

ChromeOS: Android-Apps aufs Chromebook streamen
https://bit.ly/3MoRXeM #ChromeOS #Chromebook #AndroidApps
I've just put #ChromeOS Flex onto an oldish (but modern) laptop. 8th Gen i5, 8Gb of RAM, SSD. This thing absolutely flies.
It's making me begrudge the fact that all the budget #Chromebooks I've bought in the past have felt a little laggy and I've just sort of put up with it. As if I was the one trying to push the Chromebook by having 10 tabs open at once.
Battery life is poor though, comparatively. Swings and roundabouts, I guess...
Google 為 ChromeOS 加入新功能 用戶可串流使用手機 Android 程式
今年 1 月 Google 在 CES 消費者電子展上,承諾會為 Chromebook 提供 Android 手機程式串流功能,即是讓用戶將 Android 手機與 Chromebook 連接,然後在 Chromebook 使用和操控安裝於 Android 手機內的程式或遊戲。如今這項實用新功能,終於透過 ChromeOS 114 版本推出,

#ChromeOS gurus - I'm logged into my Chromebook with my personal as primary, but also my work account.
When I open Google apps (Gmail, Chat, Drive, etc) they first open in my personal account, and I have to switch to my work account.
WITHOUT logging to my work account as primary, is there a way to force them to open in my work account first?

@slightlyoff Yep. On #linux and #chromeos. Cookies are gone randomly (even if set with looong expiration) and database (indexeddb) are lost as well. Sometimes it happens after a few days, sometimes after a few hours. I use indexeddb quite a lot to store data and even some script modules and it sucks when it has to download them again. That's how I notice. And when I am thrown out of the app because the cookie got lost.

To me #ChromeOS is much more the kind of OS that I wished for than what #FirefoxOS ever was.
Too bad Chrome OS is only for computers and tablets + not even sure Google intends it for tablets anymore considering the upcoming Pixel tablet will run Android.

Don't turn an old MacBook or PC into a Chromebook with "Chrome OS Flex." You can't install Android apps like you can on a regular Chromebook.
It might seem like a nice way to give your kids a locked-down computer to play with, but it's a waste of time.
We went from "we have a spare Mac that can run anything" to "we have a computer for the kids where they can only look at websites and Chrome extensions." 😖

I'm also happy to #ama on Chromebooks (except which one should you buy)
The fact that #Figma has keyboard controls specifically for #chromeOS is yet another part of what makes this tool so great. It's the little things that matter. 😊
For context: alt + left click opens the context menu on Chrome OS, so things like resizing from centre and drag to duplicate won't work in most tools. Figma smartly remaps those actions to the search-key instead. 👌

I love my ASUS Chromebox 3 with 16 GB RAM and I'd like an upgrade but the successor, released in 2022, is limited to 8 GB. So I'm keeping tabs on the newly announced Acer Chromebox CXI5 which supports up to 16 GB RAM. Now we're talking.
Here @kevinctofel posted the full specs of the CXI5 and other details of the new device:
