death_by_motorboat Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) from what i understand chrome os is based on the linux kernel and therefore is considered a linux family type of os im making that a point, only because of how different it is from windows Edited January 4, 2018 by mumbojummie13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumb0 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 You can install Gentoo on it, but the hardware is utter garbage. Low specs for a premium price. If you got the money, buy the new 25th anniversary ThinkPad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
