Google requires a full reformat to 3rd party apk installs on Chromebooks. That’s heavy-handed, cumbersome, and idiotic. But it’s still
better than Apple.

It should be as easy as sudo apt-add repository, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install everywhere.

Chromebooks are even worse: “Instead of hampering user’s computers for safety, we’ll make a ‘computer’ that just launches our proprietary web apps!”

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
