@shortstories @special-boy @DeezMistaReez @Zergling_man Chromebooks are locked down proprietary hardware. you can only use Google's provided compatibility layer. you are wasting your time thinking about anything else.

Just buy a real laptop. any $100-$150 refurb laptop is going have 10x the juice of a chromebook. They are barebones systems with the software tailored to hide it.

The IdeaPad laptops were announced in January 2008.[1] The first three models in the product line were the Y710, the Y510, and the U110. Some of the features that defined these first three models were widescreens, VeriFace facial recognition, frameless screens, touch controls, and Dolby speaker systems.[1][2]

The facial recognition thing makes me not sure it is a good idea to get

On September 21, 2016, Lenovo confirmed that their Yoga series is not meant to be compatible with Linux operating systems, that they know it is impossible to install Linux on some models, and that it is not supported.[5]

So I would have to be careful what kind of ideapad I got if I wanted to use linux

@shortstories @BowsacNoodle @DeezMistaReez @JollyWizard @Zergling_man
that sounds fake
mine is a ideapad c340 with an 8th gen i7 specifically and there was never any issue installing any os
@shortstories @special-boy @JollyWizard @DeezMistaReez This might also suit me, and Lenovo are slightly more reputable than Framework.
I'm excited!
