I put galliumos (ubuntu with some tweaks for the hardware) on the last google chromebook pixel i5 and I've been using it since release. It's solid hardware, just like this one.
However, I don't think I would get another since the keyboard not having proper function keys gets pretty annoying.
You can change make them act like function keys by default, if you want. I don't think I'd want a laptop with two rows.
Sorry, but obsolete how?
With absolutely no replacement parts available (even officially). So good luck trying to run it longer than a year before it starts falling apart.
You've got a good FUD posting streak in here.
So explain for everyone here why I couldn't find a battery for my Nexus phone through official channels after only a year. That kind of support drop off is embarrassing.
