Finally used my stickers

How do you code on a Chromebook? It barely has any proper applications

I replaced chrome OS with GalliumOS

I used to use crouton to get a Linux desktop environment, but now I just have a full desktop environment.

I use apps like Pycharm and Brackets.

@IronPhreak Oh, that makes a lot more sense. Was it easy to replace Chrome OS and have you encountered any issues while programming? (I'm asking because I might get a Chromebook to run Linux too, since they are by far the best low-price laptops)

@RahulFromFP finding a compatible OS was difficult, I tried Ubuntu, Kali and even windows (Intel CPU) but on Linux, the touch pad didn't work and windows bsod me...

I find GalliumOS and it's very well done. Fast, stable, hardware just works.

Only difficulty was getting pip to work but I was missing dependencies.

Certainly worth it in the end, though you're flashing the ROM, so you risk bricking it.

If Linux isn't needed, currently there's similar spec Windows laptops for as low as £130.

Only downside to this is low storage but so long as it's not a big project, you're fine.
