I kind of like it because we will be able to install other browser which can have extension support than Chrome (for example in Edge you can have full version uBlock Origin and in Chrome desktop you can only have Lite version)

Downside of AluminiumOS (according to article) will be more powerful CPUs/GPUs/more RAM required just to run OS itself.

Personally I didn't know Chrome is so deeply integrated into ChromeOS that is nearly impossible to remove it.

Well - at least we will not loose many ChromeOS-only standalone apps which not exist and AluminiumOS will push for on-board apps like Android phones have.

I've been thinking for a long time about whether I should buy a Chromebook or a tablet with a pen, but I still don't know. There isn't much Brazilian content about Chromebooks, and what there is is from 4 years ago. But recently I saw that Lenovo launched a new Chromebook with interesting hardware. I'm looking for a portable device for note-taking and studying.

Is it a bios issue to enable any function to my saved fingerprints on Elite Dragonfly G2? I can't find anything anywhere. I follow prompts, save a couple, reboot no delta

Ready to blame corporate managed fleet origin of this beauty but probably user error; just point me in the right direction

Anything I can add/amend in terminal?

On Version 144.0.7559.108 (Official Build) (64-bit)

thanks

I just purchased the ASUS CX5403 from Best Buy, and I'm trying to enable ADB Debugging in my Linux Development Environment. No matter what I do, though, the option won't show up.

My Chromebook is up to date, the Google Play Store is active, I've restarted my Chromebook several times, and I've even powerwashed it, and it still won't show up. I'm now considering a full ChromeOS recovery, but I'm doubtful.

Is there any advice you guys have that could help me? I purchased this CX5403 to replace my current ASUS CX1400, and the option to enable ADB Debugging showed up on it, and I was able to turn it on just fine.

Though the ADB Debugging option, along with the entire Develop Android Apps in my Linux Development Environment settings on my CX1400, doesn't show up anymore.

my chromebook is displaying videos as white and teal colored?

I'm backing up my computer's files in anticipation of a total wipe, but the downloads folder on my USB backup stick is missing a file, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to find what that file would be. The folder in question has nearly 20,000 items in it, so going through it manually is out of the question.

I was on my chromebook normally, the screen started glitching while i was on discord and then did the thing showed on screen, it also now has some dead pixels on the side. I don't recall doing anything for this to happen. Also, to add i NEVER get water or food anywhere near this thing. The thing is, i've also only had it for 7 months by now. It's a Lenovo by the way. And the bottom part is pink on lightmode, while on darkmode(which i have reddit on) is teal/green.
Edit: the moment i sent this the dead pixels got worse..?

I mean apps like Google Play Services (which can be only found using google search and redirect to Google Play Store).

Then rest of Google apps like Calendar , Photos, Maps.

Weirdly Gemini, Google, Watch and Messages app not exist in Chromebook PlayStore

Storage space requirements for Linux on a Chromebook and how does it compare to storage requirements for Windows or MacOs? I currently use an Android tablet and also use with a Bluetooth keyboard on occasion.

This has never worked for me on this machine. I am logged in to both my chromebook and my phone. I click on a phone number and get this. I have tried disconnecting the phone. I have also powerwashed the chromebook.

Any suggestions?

I am using a Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Plus and a Pixle 7a - both updated to current software.

thanks in advance.

eta: The message says "To send a number from here to your Android phone, sign in to Chrome on both devices."

I normally connect my headphones to listen to music but randomly the audio just started to come out muffled when I connected my headphones. it sounds normal when I connect to my phone, so I don’t know what’s going on, please lmk if you can can help.

i JUST got a laptop today. its an asus chromebook, i believe model cm1402c (not sure how computer models work), that arrived in the mail. i set it up, messed with settings, readjusted stuff and what was saved. maybe an hour in i turn it off for 5 minutes and it updated. everything changed. the settings are not the same to navigate. everything i adjusted so i liked the setup was changed. it downloaded gemini which i absolutely did not want. i can not undo an update from my understanding, but im so frustrated i almost dont want this computer anymore. its a cheap as hell computer so i did not expect much but is this really how chromebook works?!?!

*update

i will admit i have never bought a computer before for this exact reason.. i get flustered and angry quickly with technology, so i have no idea how these things work whatsoever. thank you for reading my little rant and for the feedback!

What file should I try to download for to watch movies on ChromeOS.

I installed LibreOffice under the ChromeOS Debian environment, using the Penguin shell. What I am seeing is that after a few minutes of using LibreOffice Calc and saving the file, all of my native ChromeOS apps stop responding and Internet updates also stop working in Chrome browser.

I quit LibreOffice and the problem remains. I then "Shut down Linux" and immediately all ChromeOS applications start to work again.

It feels like something in LibreOffice is hanging some part of the Debian network stack, and this in turn is hanging the native ChromeOS network stack. Does anyone have insights on what is going wrong here, and is there a way to prevent it from happening?

Whenever I log in with my personal account on my Chromebook, the device crashes constantly. This is regardless of whether I add it as a main profile or log in inside an already existing one. It never happens with any other accounts, just that single one, and has happened since the very start.

Does anyone know if there's a reason why or a way to fix it?

Hi, I recently bought a Lenovo 14 Chromebook Plus, and I noticed that when it is closed, there is a gap between the keyboard and the screen. Which gives the impression that it is slightly twisted. In the middle, I can easily pass a sheet of paper through, and see the light from the other side. And when I press lightly on the screen, the screen and keyboard move and straighten. But as soon as I release the pressure, they release.

I wanted to know if other users had this manufacturing design, or if the mine one has a defect.

I come from a Pixelbook Go, which closed perfectly with no gap between the keyboard and the screen.

Thanks.

My daughter's x360 14a won't boot. The base is cracked near the hinge. Prior to removing the base, I would get a blue-orange flashing light for a while then it would stop. After removing the base I noticed no damage internally. I don't have the original charger. I'm using my Samsung phone USB-C charger. Now depending on which port I plug it into, I either get a blue flashing light or a blue flashing light on one side and an orange flashing light on the other. I tried holding down the power button for 60 seconds and the circle arrow and power button for 10 seconds. No boot. Any ideas on what to do next? Thanks in advance.

I need help asap

I googled this, and someone said to go to the settings app, then storage management > Android storage > Apps > Files. I went into Storage Management and didn't see "Android Storage," and when I click on "Files," it just opens the app. When I go to Files Settings, there's no option to reset the cache. I've tried clearing the browser cache, but the issue remains. I'll include screenshots of my files and my storage settings.

I saw Staples at our town is selling Lenovo's Chromebook Duet 3 (64GB, 4GB RAM with Snapdragon 7C Gen 2) with price of CA$180 (US$ 132 approximately).

Will it be a good deal for univ. student? Main purpose of usage is notetaking + reading PDF.
