There are isolated problems with current patches, but they are well-known and documented on this site. |
I’ve bought loads of kit from auction… (I even wrote an AutoHotkey script to calculate the hammer price plus all the additional charges) but this one made me think.
At first I thought 16GB SSD… are you kidding me?
Then I realised… I have no experience with any Chromebook except setting one up 4 years ago (which was painful, due to my lack of knowledge).
For all I know, 16GB may be a humongous amount for a Chromebook. Thoughts?
“Storage Size
Since Chrome OS is so lightweight, Chromebooks often don’t need much storage. Most pack just 16GB of onboard storage, and that’s likely all you’ll need at this stage. Once Android support lands on the platform, users will find ways to make use of the SD card reader in notebooks such as the Acer Chromebook 14, where you can expand the storage up to 64GB.”

Get DOOM and Get DOOM II…
Remember chromebooks have an OS shelf-life, even then, it’d probably be ok for a linux XFCE/LXDE/LXQT distro. I’d suggest looking up the model and see when the ChromeOS is due to expire.
