I was hoping for a story.

As others have mentioned, perhaps while the metaphor is weak, your spirit is strong!
My kid’s Chromebooks (I purchased for them before the school provided) reached EOL before they finished elementary school.
I installed Linux (Gentoo) so we could continue using them. When power is correctly configured, they were very cool to use as a quick tool to search for something, answer an email, write a quick document and other simple tasks. They did not work well as workstations as an old Thinkpad might.
Since they are so light, and the battery lasted forever, we would leave them on a counter, and pick them up as needed.
Neo-Launcher (you can find it on GitHub) is attempting to replace Nova.
They’ve done a decent job.
Thanks! While flatpaks are not the Gentoo way, I’ll give it a try.
LLM speech-to-text.
It appears continuous speech recognition is possible, but I only got as far as recognition of an audio file.
Still very cool!
reFind is superior in this use case, as it will detect and boot any EFI media, even hot plugged.
Did you read the article? Simple text and PDF readers are in the cross hairs. Apps that aren’t “engaging” are in the cross hairs.
I expect developers of perfectly fine apps will have to manually vet those apps with Google.
I used this when my son’s computer wouldn’t boot after a Windows update. None of Microsoft’s tools would repair the disk.
I attached it to mine and ran ntfsfix on it. Success!
Can you grab logcat from Android when attempting to stream?
This does not support your claim.
Can you point where it’s not OSS?
It’s where Linux really shines, to be honest. Those specs will be fine. Great learning opportunity for the students too.
Dirk is the current maintainer of the open source dive log software “Subsurface”. He took over from Linus.
They dive(ed?) frequently together, and are good friends.
Clarify the question. Make sure I heard it correctly.
Ok, similar to mine. I’m not on Ubuntu though.
Which Nvidia device? The 970 is currently problematic.
Your question is likely too general for a good answer.
What do you need specifically? What makes the solutions you’ve tried ‘meh’? What would make an office suite ‘better’?
There used to be a wine-based project specifically for Microsoft office. It was called crossover office. Not sure if it’s still maintained.
Good luck!
I was (am?) in the same dilemma. Loved my 7 pro, but someone dropped it, cracked the screen, and things started going downhill (hardware wise) from there.
As a replacement I got an 8t (still OnePlus). It’s nice, but I miss the 7 pro.
OnePlus is no longer an enthusiast brand, and I think the Pixel is the only other one currently. Maybe the Nothing phone? That’s kind of early adopter territory still, I think.
Sorry I’m not more helpful. I prefer phones with unlocked bootloaders that allow for alternate firmware to be installed.
The biggest roadblock will be whether the bootloader will allow another OS. You should be able to search xda forums for your device as a start.
Linux can be installed on ARM, no problem.
