So, way <a href="https://www.duckland.org/2017/11/really-moving-in-on-the-chromebook/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">back in November</a>,  I decided to use ChromeOS has my main OS.  And, then in <a href="https://www.duckland.org/2018/01/a-month-in-using-chromeos-only/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">January</a>, I did a check-in on using ChromeOS for a month.  Fast forward to-day, and I am still using my PixelBook as my daily driver for all things.
So, way [back in November](really-moving-in-on-the-chromebook),  I decided to use ChromeOS has my main OS.  And, then in [January](a-month-in-using-chromeos-only), I did a check-in on using ChromeOS for a month.  Fast forward to-day, and I am still using my PixelBook as my daily driver for all things.

The battery on the PixelBook last me most of the day when out and about, and the size makes it easy to carry.  Last month, I even used it to give a talk to a [group](https://www.katorination.com) I help run, and it worked flawlessly then.
The battery on the PixelBook last me most of the day when out and about, and the size makes it easy to carry.  Last month, I even used it to give a talk to a group I help run, and it worked flawlessly then.
I still want to do some things via the command line, so for a while I was using Chromebrew to get by, but that has a couple of issues for me.  The first is that a lot of what I wanted had not been ported to that system yet, so I had to go and build it.  The second, and for me more important, was that to use it, I had to turn off some of the security built into ChromeOS to make it work.  A couple of months ago, Google announced Project Crostini, which uses Linux containers to allow you to run a full Linux (default is Debian) image under ChromeOS, using all the default ChromeOS security, which makes it a big win in my book.
Add on top of that, that the PixelBook can run most Android apps, and I have everything I need currently.  &#8216;But, what about photography?&#8217; you ask.  Well, I have found that I needed to rework my photo work flow, but I have found something that works for me.  All the photos that I have uploaded this year were posted under ChromeOS and so far, it is working for me.

For the last 12+ months, Chrome OS has been my daily driver. And for the most part, it has treated me okay for all that time. Recently, some issues have cropped up.

And, the hardware is awesome. Thin, light, and has a battery to last all day working on it unplugged. The screen has served me well .

The performance issue would not be enough for me to stop using Chrome OS as Google does have a good track record of fixing things. Without any news on when it will be fix, I may have to start weighing my options.
The area this is really impacting me is my photography work-flow. As I <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="mentioned last time (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.duckland.org/2018/12/a-look-behind-and-a-look-ahead/" target="_blank">mentioned last time</a>, I am trying to get back into photography a bit more seriously and the lag makes it hard when I am trying to process more than a handful of photos.
The area this is really impacting me is my photography work-flow. As I [mentioned last time]({{<ref "a-look-behind-and-a-look-ahead">}}), I am trying to get back into photography a bit more seriously and the lag makes it hard when I am trying to process more than a handful of photos.
My main concern for finding a replacement is to find a laptop of similar specs as the PixelBook, preferably without paying serious money for it.

This past weekend, I went camping with one of my daughters with a great group of folks from [Katori Nation] (https://www.katorination.com), a group of dads and kids spending time together in the outdoors. I packed light, and only brought the phone for a camera. I got a few good ones.
