  • Sometimes linux might work poorly on some machines. Few days ago I had my “Round 2” with my friend’s Lenovo ideapad 110 (this laptop came with Win8 preinstalled). It was a painfully bad machine in terms of performance (maybe some parts are failing in there).

    In the “Round 1” I installed Linux Mint, but it was running okay-ish (since she’s a beginner and didn’t wanted any “ancient-looking” DE)

    But I’ve done some basic look-arounds about chomebooks (low power, fanless devices) aaand instaling ChromeOS Flex hit the spot!

    Yes, this OS is quite limited out of the box (form what I know. I didn’t took a deep dive yet) but for her use case (browsing web and watching videos) it’s perfect!

    Not quite answer for your question, but it’s a good thing to know that you can revive some junky-wierd devices
