     @PunishedD @RustyCrab too bad, I had a work chromebook that was like 180 dollars and I installed GalliumOS on it and it was perfectly usable.

     @RustyCrab @sun Chromebooks now are retarded. They only come in cheap gimped specs too weak to even run Linux well, or high end expensive models with touch screen and swivel and only middling specs. You could get 2 equivalent laptops for the same price as those.

     @sun @RustyCrab Yeah same, I had one with Mint and one with (I think) vanilla Debian. $170 in pre-Covid dollars, ran great, even if they couldn't handle my usual 50 tabs.

     @PunishedD @sun the point of Chromebooks used to be that they were ultra cheap. I got mine for $200 in 2014 and used it for 6 years with gallium. I still have it and it continues to work somehow. If they're making Chromebooks expensive now that's just more of google missing the point hard

     @RustyCrab @sun and you can't just use an SD card as a drive, either. As most only have SDHC.

     @RustyCrab @sun Chromebooks are fun to use as Linux machines, but they're so gimped on storage that you can't do much more than run a bare desktop.

     @sun @RustyCrab @PunishedD people say not to attribute it to Sundar Pichai but to who else then? He's been CEO since 2015 and android peaked in 2016 imo with the pixel and android 7, and since then has been so-so but generally doesn't feel as good as it was back then

     @sun I'm currently on an M620, and just put it at 1.20GHz most of the time. Celeron is basically defective product but depending on the year if was made it should still be good, I mean I got a sff thinkcenter from 2018 with a celeron in it and it's faster than my M620 at it lowest frequency.
     Obviously if this is on windows, it's defacto trash.
     
     I'm currently working for someone on their acer es1-523 and it's cpu is a E1-7010 APU with a max frequency of 1,50GHz and it's unusable with windows, migrating it to lubuntu and then installing the MATE DE mate everything more usable.

     @sun That's 4 billions bytes of memory and 1.1 billion clock cycles a second, with multiple instructions usually executed per clock, so the hardware is blazing fast and not slow.
     
     If it's running slow, it's the software and not the hardware.

     @sun lubuntu is quite bloated, but of course it works fine on such fast hardware.
