Just curious but would you be open to plugging in a separate keyboard? Thinkpad does sell a version of their keyboards separately that you can use over USB. Not sure if there's a wireless version.

Is it easy to swap the OS on a chromebook to something else? I'd be tempted to try out Ubuntu on that.

Support varies depending on your model, you'll want to check the master list and read the caveats carefully. As for how easy it is, I thought it was pretty easy to do on my lenovo n22, but I've also unfortunately been installing linux on things for a while ;)

Speaking of, I've had reason to resurrect this n22, originally purchased refurbished in Jan 2017 and well-loved in the intervening time. The case has broken apart pretty significantly, and I have to use a USB antenna if I want wifi, but dammit it's hanging in there with the latest xubuntu minimal. Though I desperately wish the storage were upgradable.

Ah thank you for the response! I guess it may not be worth it yet to buy a Samsung chromebook just to put Linux on it, even if I think the chromebook is pretty as hell.



Or at least if I can tell if chromebooks can take decent classroom notes even without an internet connection.

Godspeed, n22. o7

Linux on a chromebook appeals to me because I like the idea of being able to keep using my laptop even after it starts to be outdated.
