Google Pixelbook with Linux
Google Pixelbook is nice, can I install other Linux and run Chrome OS together, means two Systems? I wanna ask some Google Staffs here.
Here's the repo for crouton. I don't know if they have hardware support for pixelbook yet. https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton
I had some hardware/software issues from time to time but they were resolved with OS updates or a powerwash. My set up was ok but not ideal - it would fluctuate between bliss and frustration. Opening your laptop to find half of your led screen dark is not fun. Sometimes the laptop would simply poweroff - though this may have been an issue with regards to overheating. This is the price to pay to go into dev mode.
Other than the points above I think using a chromebook pixel for development has been a ok experience. For simple tasks my experience is very good. My battery life is still very good after 2 years. The screen is perfect. Switching between xfce and my other tabs is a breeze, I would have my xfce instance open in one tab, and have a few chroot instances open in another tab (think of the feel like python's venv).
If google staff is here, please answer my only question: is there any plans to make this set up more friendly for dev set ups?
