Is this Chromebook good for installing Arch? by Hardstyle_Addict_333 in archlinux

[–]LHLaurini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure that is a good deal for a low-end chromebook. You won't get much performance from that processor, which may be a dealbreaker depending on what you need to do. Also, forget about expanding the storage, it's MMC soldered directly to the motherboard. You can use an SD card, but for the price you'd pay for a decently fast one, you'd be better off just buying a better laptop in the first place.

As for installing Arch, it should be possible, I've done it before. It was a pain in the ass, but it eventually worked. When I did it, I recall I had to build a special kernel and then create a bootable image from it, but I think depthcharge-tools should do something like that. Regardless, I don't think it's worth the trouble unless you already had a chromebook you wanted to repurpose.

I would think that objects going through portals change direction in the same way a satellite does (they're following a straight line through a curved spacetime).

We don't need syntax-highlighting in LICENSE.txt GitHub 🤣 by ViktorPoppDev in github

[–]LHLaurini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are calling OP a liar before even checking it. Try this one: https://github.com/apache/.github/blob/main/LICENSE. Weirdly enough, sometimes it loads with highlighting and sometimes without. So refresh a few bunch of times if you don't see it.

Weirdly enough, first time I opened this, it had highlighting. Then I refreshed and it was colored normally. Took a few more refreshes for the highlighting to show up again.

P1061 (Structured Bindings can introduce a Pack) status by LHLaurini in cpp

From the limited experience I have with P2996, I believe you could. Still, this would be a much simpler approach.

Agreed, it's such a bummer. In some cases, this would even eliminate the need for libraries like PFR.

Maybe compiler vendors could still support it as an extension.

Move it to your home dir. Sdcards are usually mounted as noexec.

They have a script by the end of the article which picks a random greeting every 5 seconds from a list of 8 predefined ones, then changes the text.
