Linux on a Chromebook, my favorite way | Veronica Explains
  • Yeah, Veronica Explains is great. She seems to do things in good faith, and not a money grab. She just really loves this stuff. I think she's trying to do youtube full time, and I hope she's successful.

  • Oh, that's right, I forget about that. But also, I don't know much about musl and glibc. But of course, Alpine is a distro meant for servers, so some desktop/laptop stuff I'm trying to do may not work so well.

    Since Artix is like Arch but without Systemd, I'm hoping it may be comparable to using Alpine. I'm using Artix Linux with Runit on my main desktop, and it's been great so far.

  • I've done this with a DELL chromebook similar to the one she has. It worked out great! Shout out to Mrchomebox for his awesome work on custom firmware.

    I initially installed Gallium OS since it was supposed to be a lightweight distro. My chromebook was fairly low spec with duo core intel at 2.0ghz with 4GB RAM. Gallium OS worked much better than chrome OS for this machine. Later on, I learned about Arch, and thought that would be better cuz it's barebones and lightweight. And yes, Arch made a big difference. And later on, I heard about Alpine Linux, which is even more lightweight than Arch. Shoutout to Trafotin for his video on using Alpine as a desktop OS. Alpine was even better for this machine than Arch. It is noticeable since, it's such a low powered machine.

    Yes, I'm being a dirty distro hopper. :P

    I may jump to Artix Linux since, some things I need don't seem to work on Alpine. My hypothesis is that Alpine was faster than Arch because Alpine uses OpenRC instead of Systemd. Just a guess.

  • Over 75% of voters want maximum age limit for elected officials, poll shows
  • Instead of and age limit, I think there should be a maximum sexual assault limit. Like if someone was found either civilly liable or criminally convicted of sexual assault 1 or more times, then they should be disqualified for any office.

  • Oh my gosh. I'm sorry. My reply/comment was very badly written. It was not directed at you. I meant to talk about how, in general, some men, who are child-like, take rejection so badly when they don't understand the dangers women deal with when it comes to dating or other social interactions with men.

    Again, I apologize. I should have looked over what I wrote before posting it.

  • If I'm reading correctly, they're saying that google is much better that filtering out SEO spam. I'm no expert, but maybe some of the supposed "spam" may have some actual relevant content, and that they are just good at gaming SEO. However, this doesn't excuse google from blatantly placing advertised links as top search results, even if they aren't relevant at all.

    I'm okay with ads, but I find it misleading when they appear as the top search results. I'd be okay with them if they were placed after the top 3 actual relevant results. Even better if ads were on a side bar area.

    So far, for most of the random things I search, ddg has given me more relevant and useful results than google (just casual testing over a month), even if they are better at filtering out SEO spam. I may check out google again for some searches, but so far, ddg has been working well for me.

  • Yeah, Google search is useless now. I've switched to ddg , and it's much better. Just not having all those sponsored links helps a lot .

    Maybe a searx instance would be even better, but I haven't found one that works consistently for me.
