Sabaidee, Welcome!
This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.
This isn't a competition, it's a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.
Rules:
- Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
- Be excellent to each other.

I didn't know that there was an expiration. I purchased a ThinkPad Yoga Chromebook second hand for $20 shipped and my youngest uses it to play his PBS Kids app and watch PBS Video. I guess I'll have to install Linux on it, if it's even possible.
I went through this with a Dell Chromebook recently. MrChromebox's website was really helpful. Tons of info and useful scripts to make the process a whole lot easier.
I used this And got Linux working in like3 hours. Mainly because I had no idea what I was doing.
It is. I use it as my main computer now.
