( I wish I could post pics but reddit is reddit...)
I love using my chromebook just for school, work, etc. (No gaming tho) Let me be honest with y'all.... Chrome OS sucks. No joke it just sucks. But the hardware is nice to tweak with. So I looked up how to flash the bios from Google's Custom bios to Legacy Boot. I made a usb stick with Ubuntu 18.04 on it and installed it. I was so happy to break free from Google and use a distro that I can control in my own way without noone stopping me. Well that didn't last very long... the problem was that Gnome at the time was a (kinda) heavy desktop. This caused frequent studders and it just started to get on my nerves. I also noticed that there was a UEFI bios that I could flash. So I flashed it and I liked of how fast it had booted the os. But since I flashed uefi and the os was Legacy, it left my system inoperable. So (knowing that Gnome was heavy) I looked up lightweight desktops and heard about KDE and how popular it was. (At the time, I've never tried it and it's sorta been itching at my skin for awhile now) Also I heard about Arch Linux, It was very light weight but very technical. That kinda scared me for awhile, but I sorta just put my head down and go. It's really not that bad. I installed it, I got the brand new Kde plasma 5 and holy crap it was smooth. No joke, just smooth. But I only have 5Gb of space left because the ssd inside is only 15gb and (tbh that's just sad) I'm super happy to have a fast and snappy Chromebook that's way better and faster than it's original OS. Battery life is still long (a good 5-6 hours. Before it also had battery problems in chrome os. But battery health is at like 75%) Also I have sound! Great! I've been looking for a fix or trying to fix it myself before! Thanks guys at KDE and Arch, you guys rock!
