#GWB - ChromeOS vor dem Aus: Google zieht den Stecker – das Betriebssystem war seiner Zeit weit voraus (Meinung) - https://www.googlewatchblog.de/2026/09/chromeos-vor-dem-aus-google-zieht-den-stecker-das-betriebssystem-war-seiner-zeit-weit-voraus-meinung/ #chromebook #chromeos #Google

Working on Chromebook plus. I used the Appimage. There were a couple of workarounds.

1) it doesn't work with ChromeOS Wayland, so I have to run as "QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb NovelWriter.AppImage"
I symlink the current version to NovelWriter.AppImage so that I can upgrade and downgrade easily.
2) I had to "apt install enchant-2" to get the spellcheck to work.

After that I created a .desktop file so that it appears in the ChromeOS App menu.

Chromebooks are cheap, light, and portable, and have a long battery life. You need one with the "Chromebook plus" specification to run Linux apps.

Vinkki: ChromeOS Flex muuttaa minkä tahansa vanhan Windows-tietokoneena Chromebookiksi

Ratkaisu voi olla täydellinen heille, keitä pelottaa Windows 10:n tukiajan päättyminen ja Linuxiin siirtyminen kuulostaa pelottavalta vaihtoehdolta.

ChromeOS Flex sopisi monen iäkkäämmän sukulaisen tietokoneen elinajan jatkajaksi varsin mainiosti.

any other fans of this extension?

no import required - uses your existing chrome bookmarks, but with a nice full screen grid view of browser bookmarks with favicons automatically applied - makes nice internet launcher, including 3x3 app folders, similar to iOS / android home screen. Supports drag and drop. changes are synced to Google cloud since its a launcher gui for your existing bookmarks

Uses doc mode layout (left to right, top to bottom) for anyone familiar with the physics of the iPad / iPhone home screen

what do you think?

It's called Favorites New Tab Page
