1 year agoI tried a few different linux distros on various chromebooks, and regardless of if you pick a chromebook or another device, I highly recommend you don’t get a device with an arm-based cpu. Pick a 2-in-1 that has a normal x86 processor so you don’t have to deal with compatibility issues.
Yes, I guess @[email protected] is right though that software compatibility for arm is improving, so it really depends on your use-case and workflow. I don’t remember exactly what I was doing at the time I just remember the program I wanted couldn’t run on arm.
