#ChromeOS is a #Linux distribution. Yes it's a weird one but that's why I like it. To me it's kind of like Qubes OS only lighter. Everything is sand-boxed and isolated and I love it, and #opensource #web #apps run wonderfully on them. Plus I can securely run all my favorite Linux apps. Love it! I might start trying my hand at web development next which is super easy on #chromebooks nowadays.

#ChromeOS is the only successful version of #Desktop #Linux to exist right now. And it's all Capitalism's fault.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see at least one vanilla GNU/Linux distro (#elementaryOS perhaps?) become successful but good luck beating #Google.

I'm not ashamed to be using a #Chromebook as my main computer, just because Chrome OS isn't inherently bad. It's actually quite useful. Just wish #Capitalism wasn't involved is all.

So proud of myself! I was able to recover #email for a client that was stuck inside a .dbx file from #OutlookExpress. With nothing but a terminal on my #Linux box! She's going to be so happy! 😁

The program I used was called unDBX for anyone interested:

I wish there was a #FLOSS app that is user friendly that allows me to create #Linux #Containers for #softwaretesting.

Man, I wish I had a computer with an extremely fast processor and 16 GB of RAM so I could test out a bunch of #Linux #distros in #VMs. That way I could better help clients in choosing one to move away from #Windows 7 instead of upgrading to 10.

Have you guys heard of #Sandstorm? It's server software you can install on any #Linux box and it's designed so that non-technical people can #SelfHost their own #WebApps. I've been using it for a while and it's pretty awesome. Each file you open is in it's own containerized instance and are #private by default.

@switchingsocial@mastodon.at You may want to check this out and add it to your list if your think it's advanced enough. 😃️

For the love of God! Why doesn't a #libre #OpenSource #RMM tool exist? Maybe it does but I have trouble finding a good one on the web. Any ideas for remotely monitoring computers running #Linux? Oh yes and I need to be able to self host the thing.

God, I wish Chrome OS wasn't so delightful to use. The fact that Google uses it as a spy machine is pretty unsettling. I did take some time yesterday to block as many of the Google tracking features as I could find. I'll have to find out where the read/write screw is though so I can try installing Linux on it or something. #SurveillanceCapitalism #Google #DeleteGoogle #ChromeOS #Chromebook #Linux
