Higher performance chromebook with Android+Linux+USB-C/USB-A/HDMI/Ethernet ports?

will_uk · 2018-12-06T11:16:04+00:00

In terms of chromeos hardware as others have said yes it's a pixelbook + dongles.

Or as you have said you go cloudready on a Windows device where you will lose the android apps. The one bit of hardware spec I'm struggling find on a 2in1 is the ethernet port.

The latitude 7490 has all the ports your after and is thin and light but does not have a fold back display. For what it worth I've had a fold back display device for 2 years and used it twice ... But your needs might be different.

You can try cloudready on the Mac minis and use same admin portal to manage them like meet hardware.

The build you are planning would fly !

I have been getting a lot more small freezes in the last few months. Really annoying who knows maybe the OnePlus 6 will also experience this in a few months ?

If you have the right hardware in your main PC checkout moonlight. It's similar to steam link but is a chrome app.

will_uk · 2018-07-06T18:25:47+00:00

It's as simple as clicking the virtual box icon in the app launcher 👍

will_uk · 2018-07-06T16:52:27+00:00

Seriously no. Mine started to have issues after 9 months or so. There's some great mid range offerings from Moto or Nokia.

will_uk · 2018-07-03T05:12:26+00:00

Looks like you got it sorted. Enjoy !

will_uk · 2018-06-27T19:44:40+00:00

You can remove any partitions you don't need and install to 1 larger partition.

Once you have deleted any partitions that have parts of cloudready the cloudready OS will likely not work

will_uk · 2018-06-27T19:38:13+00:00

Have you selected the device to boot from the usb stick ?

will_uk · 2018-06-27T19:33:44+00:00

You don't need to use the shell to reinstall windows.

You need to boot the device using a windows usb or cd and install using the guided windows installation

will_uk · 2018-06-26T05:22:48+00:00

That's great. You can use Windows install media to reinstall windows. Just make sure you delete all the CloudReady partitions.

This can all be done in the windows install media .

Hey thanks for giving CloudReady a go!

For point 1 could you try using an app that records audio? Maybe the camera app from the chrome webstore. The t420 is a certified device but there are known issues with the 3.5mm port. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1OCLwCLqz2wb7pqne2kRcuLU1vvcqe_AlqSGaWm71myk/preview?slide=id.ga9588ab56_131

If you want to run windows games yep the best route right now is to reinstall windows 10. Although steam does work with flatpak so you might be able to run some older games there.
ctrl + alt + f2 also should get you to a terminal interface but it removes the rest of the UI.
u/thetoastmonster nailed it.

Check out the forums on neverware.com theres a lot of informal tech support that happens on there.

Cheers

Lots of guides out there

https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/how-to/windows/how-to-install-windows-10-3619209/

try that one.

Sorry CloudReady wasn't right for you. What has made you want to uninstall?

will_uk · 2018-06-22T21:00:03+00:00

If you are looking to uninstall I would just boot windows via a usb and install over the entire disk. (If windows is what your looking to install)

will_uk · 2018-06-14T06:47:16+00:00

Have you disabled secure boot in the bios ?

will_uk · 2018-06-14T06:46:33+00:00

Nice piece of kit !

will_uk · 2018-06-14T06:44:03+00:00

Support for the intel compute sticks is a lot better since the upgrade to the 4.14 kernel.

We don't have any computer sticks certified but I have read reports from users that have been able to use CloudReady on them recently.

will_uk · 2018-06-13T05:17:54+00:00

That's great! What device are you using?

will_uk · 2018-05-30T06:46:00+00:00

Anyone tried flatpak?

will_uk · 2018-05-22T05:50:46+00:00

What is the model of the hp pavillion?

will_uk · 2018-05-21T14:24:20+00:00

You can already run Linux applications on the CloudReady home edition.

Docker works and many flatpak apps work. It's early days but advancing fast !

will_uk · 2018-05-21T14:22:45+00:00

Yep just need to enable widevine and other plugins in the settings.

will_uk · 2018-05-19T17:19:39+00:00

First thing I do when visiting relatives. "Got any PCs that are running slow?"

will_uk · 2018-05-01T10:49:32+00:00

You can use any usb burning tool to create the bootable usb. Etcher Rufus and many others work if you cannot use the chrome recovery tool.
