  1. 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.

  5. Szewc w końcu kupił buty. Gemini wchodzi do przeglądarki na ChromeOS (z półrocznym poślizgiem)

    Sytuacja jest niemal komiczna. We wrześniu 2025 roku Google udostępniło funkcję „Gemini in Chrome” szerokiemu gronu odbiorców na Windowsie i macOS. Użytkownicy Chromebooków – komputerów, których jedynym celem istnienia jest bycie oknem na usługi Google – musieli obejść się smakiem. Aż do teraz.

    AI, które „widzi” Twoje zakładki

    Natywna integracja Gemini z przeglądarką Chrome zaczęła wreszcie pojawiać się na ChromeOS, konkretnie w kanale testowym Canary. Dlaczego to ważne? Bo to nie jest zwykły skrót do strony z chatbotem. Funkcja „Gemini in Chrome” działa jako boczny panel, który ma dostęp do kontekstu Twojej pracy. Możesz poprosić AI o:

    • Podsumowanie artykułu, który masz otwarty w aktywnej karcie.
    • Porównanie informacji z kilku otwartych kart (np. specyfikacji produktów w różnych sklepach).
    • Odwołanie się do stron odwiedzonych w historii przeglądania.

    To narzędzie, które realnie przyspiesza research, pod warunkiem, że jest głęboko zintegrowane z przeglądarką.

    Cel: Chrome 144

    Google oficjalnie potwierdziło na stronach wsparcia, że celem wdrożenia jest wersja Chrome 144. To właśnie ta aktualizacja ma przynieść Gemini na paski zadań użytkowników ChromeOS. Biorąc pod uwagę obecność funkcji w kanale Canary, premiera jest już blisko.

    Jest jednak haczyk. Wiele wskazuje na to, że – przynajmniej na początku – nowość trafi wyłącznie na certyfikowane urządzenia z serii Chromebook Plus. Posiadacze starszych lub budżetowych modeli (często spotykanych w edukacji) mogą na to poczekać jeszcze dłużej.

    Mimo wszystko dobrze widzieć, że Google w końcu przypomniało sobie o własnym systemie operacyjnym. Lepiej późno niż wcale.

    Nowy chip MediaTek ma odmienić Chromebooki. Obiecuje o 35% dłuższą pracę i laptopy bez wentylatorów

  8. draft - People - chromeos requires 8gb ram. I don't care if there's a bunch of 4gb ram devices. If you please vote a little bit with your wallet and get at least 8gb ram, and at least a core i3 / ryzen3, it's gonna be better.

    Vote with your wallet. stop buying 4gb ram Chromebooks.

    Chromebooks with 8gb ram Intel core i3 / amd ryzen3 or higher please. ..

    Essentially, Chromebook plus is kinda required to have a good time on chromeos.

    Let's rid the market of 4gb ram chromeos devices by just ignoring them completely. They're not worth it unless you get them for $40 bucks.

    8gb ram core i3 Chromebook plus is more worth $250 for a good sale of $350 MSRP Chromebook plus

  10. draft - i think 15.6 inch touchscreen chromebooks with 16gb ram, and core i5 should be chromebook plus for around $400 going on sale to $300.

    the 14 inch ones with only 8gb ram and core i3 should not be chromebook plus. they should be the "regular chromebooks". all of them should include a touch screen and be sold around $300 going on sale to $200.

    the smaller ones with only 4gb ram and anything less powerful than a core i3 and no touchscreen should never be made again.

  12. 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

  14. dear google please just keep the lacros flag or at least immediately replace it with a "enable chrome profiles" flag.

    chrome profiles are too important to get rid of.

  16. 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
