Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how’s it going?

I love the whole Chromebook platform. Not sure if the Acer C730 runs Linux - the ASUS does.

Having, effectively, 3 OS's built in, ChromeOS, Android, and Linux makes the platform super usable. I mostly work at the Debian command line, right on the ASUS or shell into various servers. Being able to install Gimp etc., locally or run them off a server via X-Windows makes such a simple, and affordable device so flexible.

The ASUS has just run out of supported updates, but I don't think that is going to be too much of a problem for a while. Hope Google don't change ChromeOS any time soon...

I'm running fedora because I hated how restrictive chromeos is.
