I think it used to be called “cloudready” until Google bought it and made it official. It seems like it’s aimed more at businesses and schools that want a fleet of Chromebooks, but it seems alright for the casual tinkerer too.

ChromeOS Flex is an interesting one; it’s definitely not as flexible as a proper Linux distro but if you need something simple and hard-to-break to run on an old machine (for instance for an elderly relative who’s still using Windows XP) then it could be worth a shot. That said, I’m now investigating whether Linux Mint is a better choice for my own elderly relatives!
Not an actual answer, but I think a Chromebook reaching EoL doesn’t mean it stops getting all updates. I think it’s something along the lines of it stops getting firmware updates but it still gets browser updates, though worth checking exactly what’s happening on your specific device. If you’re feeling crazy you can even try installing ChromeOS Flex on it and it should miraculously be “supported” again.
Aside from all the usual points that everyone else has already made: automation. Scripting stuff on Linux is relatively simple, trying to fuck about with powershell or work around a tool that’s GUI-only is infuriating.
Remember to save these for when the party are getting a little too “morally grey”, because unless you’re running a “dark and gritty” campaign then it will discourage them from ever wanting to get in a fight!
Not just marketing, they’re often also a load test for the networking infrastructure. Not much change to actual gameplay though.
I had a knockoff wavebird for the GameCube. Guzzled batteries, introduced lag, and sometimes your character just slowly rotated in a circle. It was cool to have a wireless controller though!
I made a post the other day about some gentle arcade mobile games which are currently free. I’ve only played Traffix so far, but it seems great.
“Email address” is the phrase you’re looking for!
Mutation testing is a cool concept, but what’s it got to do with the fediverse?
You could try asking in !linuxphones@lemmy.ml, there’s usually some good PostmarketOS knowledge over there
Not just a death sentence for that Pokémon, approaching the PC was a potential game over!
No idea, I’d never even heard of one until your comment! Is it worth setting up? What else does it do?
“Just”, lol. I’m sure yours is a much more comprehensive and powerful solution, but it definitely looks more complex than just installing a plugin on your IDE!
I’ve never played The Binding of Isaac’s multiplayer, but it’s an incredible game, infinitely replayable, and has full co-op now (as in you each have a full character rather than just “little brother mode”)
EB bought them and did a “reverse takeover”
TIL!
Definitely not always, I remember buying games and accessories there many moons ago!
Exactly, I choose the one that’s always there on every machine I access!
The allowable exception is when the what is a what the fuck, as in you had to use a hack so horrible that it requires an apology comment
