I have been repurposing my EOL Chromebook, and I don't think they will ever be able to compete with ThinkPads. I like my Chromebook since it is so damn small, however the specs are really bad. And everything is soldered right on the motherboard. So I have 64GB storage (plus an SD-card) and 4GB RAM. I have enabled ZRAM so the CPU is helping out a bit. But even so I struggle with the memory. Browsers are such memory hogs!

Yeah, I noticed. I miss not having a declarative system, but agree on Nix. I don't have the time to learn all that. I think it seemed neat to use yaml, since it is pretty straight forward

That sounds like BlendOS. I haven't tried either of them, but sounds really cool!

What game is this?

Did you also try to search for the meaning of NEET?

Also did a search to see if RAM or storage is possible to upgrade, it is not. Everything is soldered right to the board.

I can however add some storage with SD card (planning on doing just that)

Thanks for all the great replies! I installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with XFCE for now, because I had it lying around on a USB stick. Mostly to see if I even could get it running. So far so good, but I will definitely use some time to check out my options and see what will work the best. All replies are greatly appreciated!

I have an Acer Chromebook R11 which has reached End of Life and won't receive updates (which is insane, I bought it new four years ago). I have checked, and my model is now fully supported by most Linux distros.

I need suggestions for a lightweight distro to use. I will use the machine for surfing, playing Pixel Dungeon, streaming some indie games over Moonlight/Steam Headless and manage my home server over ssh. So nothing major. I want something lightweight and really low maintenance.

Specs:

  • Processor: 1.6GHz quad-core Intel Celeron N3150 (quad-core, 3MB cache, up to 2.08GHz with Turbo Boost)

  • Graphics: Integrated Intel HD Graphics

  • Memory: 4GB DDR3L

  • Storage: 32GB (with SD card reader for more storage)

I have a lot of experience with Arch-based (EndeavourOS, Manjaro), Ubuntu-based (Mint, PopOS) and Debian-based (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Raspbian) distros, but I am open for other suggestions

That's basically what was supposed to be the plot for the Bob's Burgers pilot episode

That sucks! I was really hopeful for the game, it looked super nice and could have given EA a real run for their money

Is it possible to rearrange the items in the quickslot on Android? I am using the quickslot with swapper button, and it would be nice to rearrange so that I could have all my throwing weapons on one page. I also can't seem to remove stuff I have accidentally put there either. I haven't managed to find out how to do it, if it is even possible
