I upgraded to Linux and can still play every game I’ve tried to play

I upgraded a Chromebook to Linux recently. That was a huge bump in performance that I wasn’t expecting, not even just for gaming.

What OS was it running before? ChroomeOS is Linux right?

Technically yes, and so is Android. But neither work the way you’d expect a typical Linux distro to work.

Yeah it was ChromeOS. It is sort of linux, but google is an advertisement company. You can’t ask them to not collect your data and recently they gave up pretending like they cared about user privacy. Linux is none of that. Complete opposite.
If you compare it to linux side by side, chromeOS is basically the alternate reality evil twin with the goatee

What distro? Did you follow a guide?
Shortstack@reddthat.com 2 months ago
installed Lubuntu 24 on it using a guide that loosely applied to the low end chromebook I have. Link here
Using chrome browser on ChromeOS was snappy but any other browser I used with addons was an awful and laggy experience. The difference in performance was an unexpected win, but I primarily did it to ditch SpywareOS.
Going forward I’m probably going to just look for chromebooks to convert to linux for a daily driver laptop because you dont have to pay a premium for the spyware like you do with a windows laptop
