Maybe there is, but I dont have much experience with chromebooks, OP is going to have to make a research about their hardware

As far as I know, most if not all chromebooks come with a locked bootloader, so its probably impossible to boot anything other than ChromeOS

I'm not saying latin america has seized relations with US, just pointing out some of the reasons why China is growing its influence on the continent. Their friendly prices and big investments are much more appealing than empty US promises, as shown in the Summit of the Americas

Latin America is NOT US's space. This imperialist view of the world that some west nations show is the reason why Latin America is distancing from them

I use Linux for about 2 years

Up until February this year, I was still using a 14 year old DDR2 desktop. Windows 10 started to get quite slow and had some annoying crashes (mainly the fault of my goofy old hardware, of course)

I learned about Linux as an alternative through a Linux Tech Tips video about gaming on Linux, and Valve's announcement of the Steam Deck, I was also interested in FOSS apps as alternative to proprietary ones.

Decided to try Linux Mint. With no prior experience with Linux, lack of luck finding good tutorials, and some weird thing happening with my games not launching, I had a very rough start.

But thanks to Mint, suddenly my DDR2 desktop got a lot smoother :D also, all of my drivers worked out of the box, and I got very surprised with Linux's plug-and-play hardware capabilities.

So I decided to learn how to use it, tinkered alot with my system, and broken it alot! It was kind of frustrating, but fun at same time.

And without noticing, I had already learned lots about Linux from a more technical, and then, philosophical point of view.

Now I'm a great fan of Linux and FOSS, and have been helping friends to move to it by giving support with issues I had in the past.

Oh, I didn't mean to oppose your post or anything! My bad 😅, Just tried to point some things out.

Yeah, every experience is valid! I was just stating my opinion about the general state of Linux installers, but the experience varies alot from person to person. Glad you made it to Linux tho 😄

You can still play real video games through emulators tho, there are tons of hidden gems in every console! I've been finding joy again by playing those

I think they should improve their website download page, and have an easier installer before I can recommend it as a first distro to someone. But that's just my opinion. Some people even get Arch as their first distro, so..
