My work computer is a Dell Precision, running Xubuntu Linux. Before I dive into Chrome OS, let's talk briefly about my work computer and the apps I use daily. All statements and opinions are mine alone.ĭisclaimers out of the way, let's get started. I am assuming the reader probably already has a Chromebook, or is thinking of getting one, and is already at least somewhat familiar with Chrome OS. This is just documenting my experiences with Chrome OS, and its appropriateness to my work as a Systems Administrator. There are many, many excellent sites available that cover those topics. Please note, this is not a review of, or a how-to-use a Chromebook.
In this blog post, I'm going to just mention some of the things I like about the Chromebook, some of what I don't like, some tricks I discovered, and how well I've been able to use it was a work computer. I recently purchased a Google Pixelbook (8G, 128G storage) and have been exploring its functionality, not just as a personal computing device, but as a part-time work computer (for when I travel, or want to work from the couch, bed, whatever). But with the inclusion of Android apps, and most recently the ability to run Linux apps, Chrome OS finally reached the point where I was ready to give it a try. I considered them a niche device, and not a terribly useful niche at that. But Chromebooks have come a long way since their introduction. It sounds the opener to a joke, and not all that long ago, it might have been.
