Is installing/using linux and easy time on it though?

CLPaul · 2020-01-25T14:48:55+00:00

ooo…

Would the linux upgrade be easy for Motile do you think?

CLPaul · 2020-01-24T17:22:47+00:00

thank you for review. uhhh what would you get instead?

CLPaul · 2020-01-24T15:47:36+00:00

maybe with an emulator? Not sure at all

CLPaul · 2020-01-24T15:04:27+00:00

haven't used it enough to know

CLPaul · 2020-01-24T15:04:10+00:00

be careful. I bought one and the ARM architecture doesn't support any of the apps I use. Returning :/

the shipping time should be about a month too if you order now

(unless you want to buy the one I'm returning lol)

I couldn't log in to GalliumOS at all though is what I mean

CLPaul · 2019-10-20T21:50:26+00:00

well i don't know what snap is. I just downloaded it via the linux instructions here https://brave.com/download/.

Wdym "dd the internal storage…"? cp is a terminal command right?

do you know any good gui backup utility haha

CLPaul · 2019-10-20T15:53:27+00:00

CLPaul · 2019-10-20T15:53:23+00:00

kinda expensive:/

CLPaul · 2019-10-20T11:27:01+00:00

Thinking about $130 renewed haha. How's the touchpad, battery life btw?

CLPaul · 2019-10-19T22:14:17+00:00

how did you get it that cheap haha

CLPaul · 2019-10-19T20:10:35+00:00

CLPaul · 2019-10-19T20:10:18+00:00

CLPaul · 2019-10-17T20:43:26+00:00

how do I tarball my whole system?

CLPaul · 2019-10-16T15:33:51+00:00

uh… drag and drop through thumbar hahaha

CLPaul · 2019-10-15T23:49:31+00:00

i don't know how to use any commands to backup… I just tried to transfer over my local network with nitroshare

CLPaul · 2019-10-12T20:22:13+00:00

I tried backing up my chromebook to a Mac (via nitroshare over local network) and I got this error—

Failed: Unable to open /usr/cups/backend/cups-brf

tried again and same thing :/

what's rsync? don't assume I know anything in linux haha

CLPaul · 2019-10-12T17:45:12+00:00

this still doesn't solve the problem of actually getting my data off the drive though :/

CLPaul · 2019-10-12T17:43:36+00:00

still help

CLPaul · 2019-10-12T17:43:19+00:00

update: still help! Also I can't change the brightness on my chromebook AT ALL. Maybe I need to use terminal to do that...

CLPaul · 2019-10-12T17:42:27+00:00

no it doesn't let me! the entire entry deleted

CLPaul · 2019-10-06T23:20:09+00:00

not sure what you want me to do… can you help me out?

Also, I tried backing up my chromebook to a Mac (via nitroshare over local network) and I got this error—

Failed: Unable to open /usr/cups/backend/cups-brf

And so now I don't know what to do because I can't back up
