That's my big pet peeve with Chromebooks.I really enjoyed an ancient Acer CB3-111 in 2014(?) and atm I have Acer CP311 that is waiting for a new display (first the Wacom digitiser went, now backlight control + touch are gone with intermittent data corruption). Great keyboards, light, decent performance and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/mrchromebox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mrchromebox</a> 's firmware is ace!

Filip SP9GMD💻 Why I turned my old <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Chromebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chromebook</a> into a cheap, powerful <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> ultrabook? As an amateur radio operator, I needed a small, lightweight, and budget-friendly laptop for logging contacts during field operations. Older laptops weren’t an option – their batteries don’t last long.

Where is it at as a general browser/editor machine?

iN8sWoRLd<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@codemonkeymike" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@codemonkeymike</a> I've been running a couple ASUS C202sa chromebooks with firmware from <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/mrchromebox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mrchromebox</a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/endeavoros" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#endeavoros</a> (one KDE and one i3) and they are my go-to devices. Not fast but usable, biggest issue is that they only have 4GB ram. I'll look into the Lenovo Flex 5, thanks!

A.B.This weekend's tech activity was to put <a href="https://mas.to/tags/antiX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antiX</a> Linux on the former parents redundant EOL'd Chromebook. Success! And a very nice Debian based distro without the systemd overhead. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/icewm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#icewm</a> boots to 140mb.Now if I can figure out how to get the latest <a href="https://mas.to/tags/MrChromebox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MrChromebox</a> firmware and replace an this aged <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Seamonkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Seamonkey</a> based firmware, I'd be set.

Pascal GarberIf you have a Chromebook that no longer receives updates, there's a solution for you! With the ChromeOS Firmware Utility Script: <a href="https://mrchromebox.tech/#fwscript" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mrchromebox.tech/#fwscript</a>, you can turn your Chromebook into a regular laptop and install ChromeOS Flex on it. I did this with my HP Chromebook 14 and it worked like a charm! <a href="https://floss.social/tags/chromebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chromebook</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/chromeos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chromeos</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/flex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flex</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/mrchromebox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mrchromebox</a>
