Chromebook with a ThinkPad-quality keyboard? I'd get one. -

@lfourrier @jannem nah there is the alpine chromebooks project for that and also pmOS targets chromebooks if the alpine chromebooks project does not support it

@ariadne @jannem I have two Chromebooks. One is the last HP machine I will ever buy. The second one is an Asus machine that was quite nice, and I even made the effort to convert it to manjaro. But it’s quite underpowered, and the special keyboard is a pain to manage, even with the special distributions, or was at the time I looked at it.In the end, I just restarted my long dormant XPS 13 developer edition from 2013, and it is working perfectly.

@lfourrier @jannem yeah it is true, much of the chromebooks are really underpowered. but there are reasonable ones like elm/oak which are powered by ARM Cortex-A72. alpine still performs quite well on that machine.

@ariadne @lfourrier @jannem elm/oak are a72 class machines, much slower than a76 ones

@never_released @lfourrier @jannem yeah sorry i just checked the 8173c datasheet and you're right that it's a A55/A72 mix
