ChromeOS Flex is very solid, I have it running on an old Macbook Air and I have set up Linux support so it also has access to LibreOffice and Vivaldi browser. It is now easier than ever to turn an old laptop into a Chromebook and it can be surprising how peppy they can be. On Fri, May 31, 2024

enable your Linux mode, normal chrome OS process. Then open your terminal and use apt update/apt install processes to install LibreOffice. It's a Debian shell. On Sun, May 26, 2024 at 10:03 AM Michael via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > you can do that? how? > > On
