<p>As I pointed out <!-- raw HTML omitted -->a while back <!-- raw HTML omitted -->that I was moving to ChromeOS more seriously. Well, since Christmas day, I have parked my R810 to the side, and installed Chromium OS on my Lenovo X260 and started using it full time. What is Chromium OS? It is the open source version of ChromeOS.</p>
|
||
<p>So far, everything has been working great. The only thing that has not worked for me is DRM protected video stream, things like Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Video. Not a major lost, but I missed it on a recent trip.</p>
|
||
<p>The other major issue I have run into is photo processing and management. Under ChromeOS, there is not many options for this, only pure web-based solutions like Google Photos. There are some pretty decent solutions in the Android world. How does this help me? Well, the newer version of ChromeOS running on newer Chromebooks can run Android apps.</p>
|
||
<p>Sadly, my Acer C720 and HP Chromebook 11 G1 are both too old to get the Android solutions. Additionally, both systems are starting showing their age in running modern web apps. So, my solution? I am buying a Google Pixelbook. I opted for the smaller of the versions which should have more than enough horsepower for me to run for many years. It arrives today, so I will be having some fun setting it up.</p>
