I’m in the market for a Linux friendly ultralight laptop to check web apps and run terminal, nothing fancier then that. Do any cheap systems exits these days? I was looking at a chrome book but apparently the mediatek chip doesn’t play nicely with FOSS.

Any thoughts?

    Problem is that Webapps require a very unhardened browser. Complete caching, cookies saved, serviceworkers in the background, so if Firefox got the feature hardening would break it

      Isn’t that kind of the point though? I’d appreciate the option, but I don’t know how usable actual web apps would be without access to those things

        Yes of course. Thats why support would totally be possible, but it needs to be a seperate unhardened firefox profile. Then all good.
