I've now made it a habit to turn on basic telemetry on new #Linux installs. These people won't use that data for advertising, but _actually_ improving the product. Let them know I put #Kinoite on a #Chromebook, #NixOS on a MacBook and #ArchLinux on a Surface Hub (that last one wasn't actually me).
The Year of the Linux Desktop is NOW, we just don't know, because we've lost all trust in telemetry. -
draft - ChromeOS - Re: GUI installation of .deb packages has been deprecated.
A - so, is it "good" for "them" or "us" or "business" or what. Is it almost trying to make it feel like that sort of "no side loading" type of feeling? Or force people to use the terminal or. Or make it so "dummies" don't install bad things by accident or something? Or is it none of the above or some of the above or we just don't know? Hm. I wonder. bc it was kinda nice having the gui installation capability and this feels like a downgrade. Hm. But even if it is some of the above, and have them force users to the terminal for *initial installation* it doesn't make sense to force users to the terminal for *software updates* as software updates include security stuff that would be beneficial for all users even "dummies" or whatever. Like, sure, maybe the initial installation should require terminal, but the UI should support software updates via the gui.

🆕CES 2026: HP nie zwalnia tempa! Nowe laptopy, akcesoria i zaskakujący EliteBoard na CES 2026

#Accessibility hive mind, I have some questions about #ChromeVox as well as #Chromebook accessibility & #usability in general. I'm working with a #PixelBook that has never been used. ChromeVox is telling me to use commands involving the search key as a modifier, but these seem not to work as any use of the search key invokes #Google #Gemini. What's going on here? Additionally, how are #blind people using #Chromebooks? In what tasks do they excel. In what tasks do they fall short? Any input and/or information would be greatly appreciated.

Lilbits: Snapdragon X Chromebooks, Pixel 7a battery swelling, and a Liberux NEXX Linux phone progress update
Earlier this year the folks at Liberux announced plans to build a Linux smartphone that combines the kind of features you’d expect from a modern phone with the hardware you’d expect from a pretty good single-board computer. The Liberux NEXX is expected to have a RK3588s Processor, a 6.34 inch, 2400 x 1080 pixel OLED display, 32GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage, along with dual USB 3.1 Type-C […]

The #Steam integration with #ChromeOS is a wonder. I really have to commend all the work #Valve and #Google have done.
I installed Steam and some lighter games on my #Chromebook and the installation was seamless without any hitches or tinkering.
One videogame (Wargroove) was missing its intro video but that was about it.
Steam took care of installing and automatically selecting all the #Linux runtimes and #Proton versions. I wasn't involved in any way.

draft - on chromeos in the play store, the opera browser is a full desktop style browser when you download it from chromeos.
firefox and other browsers should do the same.
give us a full desktop level browser, or at least the option to do so when downloading from a chromebook via the play store

"New Microsoft Teams PWA Now Available for All Windows and macOS Users...In this new Teams web client, Microsoft has replaced the resource-heavy Electron framework and the React framework and Edge WebView 2. The company claims the app is now two times faster and uses 50 percent less memory. The new Microsoft Teams web app has also been slightly redesigned, with various stability and performance improvements...To install the new Microsoft Teams PWA, web users should be using Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge as their browsers..."
draft - I assume chromeOS Chromebook too right? Since it says "web users should be using Google Chrome..."
Thx.

Standardize Coaxial power connector sizes/functions + enable high speed data over coax
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_power_connector
according to the wiki it looks like there are "several" standards. maybe the governing bodies could try to focus on one or two standards .... e.g. a "smaller" one for laptops / electronics and a "larger" one for larger applications
regarding usbc...i mean, sure. but then Microsoft should require/force windows computer makers to use USBC for charging - even on the "cheaper" windows laptops. no more barrel connectors. unless it becomes a standard like USBC.

draft - when will chromeOS get more controls / capabilities from the shelf? its a digital space. its not bound by physical reality. please give us the ability to pin folders to the shelf. we can tap them and they'll open in a 3x3 or 4x4 grid, so that, we have access to our favorite things more easily. folders inside the launcher are too fleeting. they are lost whenever using "sort by color" or "sort by a-z" etc...at least if there was an option to pin app folders to the top so they wouldn't be strewn about when re-sorting, that might help a bit.
