Are there any worthwhile "apps" for this thing?
install gentoo
remove chromeos and install linux and don't look back
i was able to emulate even the psp on that thing and play with a usb controller at full speed on my acer c720
Gentoo
if you don't want to open the back up: crouton.
if you don't mind: install a real operating system.
I dont get why everything has to copy apple.
At work I have to work with this shitty iMac, I could be 5 times more efficient if they would give me anything else.
No but you can install ubuntu on a chromebook.

Because normies like shiny stuff to show off to other normies

I had a samsung arm chromebook, and it was great till I broke the screen after taking it with me everwhere I went for the last 3 years.
Now I have an Acer Chromebook, with the nvidia k1 quadcore with 192 cuda cores, 4 gigs of ram and a 2.5k screen (which they say is only 1080p, but can actually go higher).
I'm happy.
OP here
Its actually the asus chromebook flip.
Does all this still apply?

yup

What? This is a chromebook not a macbook air.
I've managed to install Android, fedora, and ubuntu on my chromebook. If you can't do it, well, that's a personal problem.

>tfw you can't get the bios lock screw out to install a real OS because that thing is fucking IN there.
Someday I will find a decent screwdriver, someday.

Crouton.
I use my chromebook with a crouton unity desktop to write shitty c code for programming classes. If it has ARM build you can get it. If you wanna be an elitist fuck like everyone else you can just not do what you're doing and install gentoo

Turn it counter clockwise...
Use an xacto blade
>>51699001
I've installed Lubuntu on mine.
>>51699166
crouton works on x86 chromebooks too, just as an fyi.
>>51699038
the fuck are you talking about? the bootloaders on chromebooks are locked and you need to flash the bios to install another OS. seabios is still broken on most bay trail chromebooks and it's been like a year
>>51699259
Your doing it wrong.
Have you considered doing it the proper way instead?
>>51698826
but chrome os is gentoo
>>51698775
chromebook + kubuntu = sex with supermodels
>>51699792
Isn't it too heavy?
