Buying a new laptop

If you like using Chromebooks and Linux, go right ahead. I’ve used Chromebooks exclusively and without real issue for years… primarily nicer Acer and Samsung with Intel I3/I5 processors, 14"-15" screen, and 4G or more RAM. Put them in Developer mode to get at the Debian 11 (“bullseye”) underneath and download one of the LightBurn-Linux64-vx.x.xx.run images.

It’s been a year or two since I’ve gotten a new Chromebook but it’s possible you may need to install a library or two to get Lightburn to launch but, once done, it works like a champ!
