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?

    But be aware a ton of features that would work on ChromeOS don’t work, I’ve done this to 4 and all have separate problems

      Very interesting! I had an Acer Chromebook I couldnt even open up, so I got rid of it as fast as possible.

      Could you share experiences?

      • keyboard layouts, missing buttons
      • what features are missing?
      • anything else thats good to know?
