Right now use Windows 10 on my PC. Not interested in 11 at all. I've been thinking about buying an old chromebook and tossing Linux (probably Mint) on it. A friend made one of those and I thought it was really neat. Just gotta find the time, I suppose.
Be aware that
- The storage is insane. Chromebooks you can afford have unupgradeable 128GB max
- The processors are often pretty bad, no GPU and all
- The keyboards are horrible. There are so many missing keys, will be horrible on Linux.
- The BIOS is an intense hack. Having Tianocore on modern Hardware is for sure awesome, but if it fails there is pretty much noone to help you.
- This hardware is often bullshit. Glued together, no replacement parts, ports soldered to the mainboard. I saw a video of a repairguy ranting and sent my Acer Chromebook back.
If you get an affordable one, do it! But dont waste money on that.
