    Chromebooks are insanely locked down at schools. I got one on eBay for $40, installed linux, and now it can play Minecraft Java at 60 fps so that’s something.

      I really don’t get the Chromebook complaint. It just needs to browse the internet, and a Chromebook is damn solid at that at a super reasonable price and are rugged as hell. Yeah I wish schools didn’t hook into the g suite but like what, you want em on a windows machine to do the same things as on chrome os?

        My chromebook was so bloated with the schools proctoring software that it lagged on a Google doc

        Which is like half of the things purpose

          Okay yeah that’s very true the proctoring systems suck entire ass.
