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.  ‘But, what about photography?’ 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. \ No newline at end of file +Add on top of that, that the PixelBook can run most Android apps, and I have everything I need currently.  _"But, what about photography?"_ 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. diff --git a/content/post/2019/01/12-months-of-chrome-os.md b/content/post/2019/01/12-months-of-chrome-os.md index d18ec216..fd822503 100644 --- a/content/post/2019/01/12-months-of-chrome-os.md +++ b/content/post/2019/01/12-months-of-chrome-os.md @@ -1,12 +1,13 @@ -+++ -date = "2019-01-07T12:15:50-07:00" -title = "12 Months of Chrome OS" -slug = "12-months-of-chrome-os" -+++ +--- +date: "2019-01-07T12:15:50-07:00" +title: "12 Months of Chrome OS" +tags: ["sa", "pixelbook", "chromeos", "software"] +categories: ["sa"] +--- For the last 12+ months, Chrome OS has been my daily driver.
