Even without installing a Linux distro on a Chromebook, one of the best gaming experiences almost every Chromebook can handle is PSP emulation with PPSSPP. Many great games to be played.
That's what they have you using? I'm glad I'm in college... I'm using a 16inch m1 max MBP for school maybe overkill but hey if it works. I can understand liking the netbook form factor I still love my 12 inch 2017 macbook. But I think it's the chuwi minibook x would be a modern equivalent.
Quite overkill most likely, (if it’s a engineering class or something it isn’t) I was looking at those but this computer does what I’d use that for, for $35
@@Tech86807 Im studying CS I like to play a lot with local LLMs and training so I make use of the extra horsepower 99% of people (even creators) don't need anything close to it. I like the 16 inch form factor a lot though especially if you need a book and notes or browser and word up at the same time. I'm thinking of getting one of the rminibooks though and running linux on it as a second machine.

A lot of people saying 16GB is the bare minimum nowadays but as long I am still using a CRT monitor, I'm happy with 8 GBs :)

Didn’t try any games yet, but have it installed
2:15 i think it is more accurate to call it a container, which i think uses lxc. But yeah, it still has to share resources with chromeos
did I call it a VM? yeah container is correct.

i7???? thats a better cpu than my £600 laptop, how is a school affording that???
@@TaTi_IC we don't get to take them home tho, they always are taken and placed in a room everytime we leave school, In the room they are charged
