Linux is
a different Operating system than Windows or Chrome. Most things work
on this laptop with Linux, but we cannot guarantee ALL functionality
works(linux may need additional drivers for some components). As a
seller we are not responsible for quirks or oddities with Linux. You can
try another version by creating a bootable installer(google rufus
create bootable USB for instructions).
IF
this flavor doesn't work for your needs, try one of the many dozens of
flavors of Linux out there, or your preferred one - simply hit ESC at
startup to get to the boot menu and boot to your USB drive.
ChromeOS
is 100% REMOVED(as these laptops are now end of updates from Google),
new firmware has been installed, you can now boot most any OS(we have
tested a dozen different linux variations). Ubuntu, Fedora, and Mint
seem to work the best. When new, the trackpads on these laptops were
described as mushy. A USB mouse is much nicer.
This one has Linux Mint 21 installed(view our other listings for Ubuntu Linux or Manjaro linux pre-installed).
Firefox web browser installed - modern updated web browser.
Linux Mint includes Libre Office, and other pre-installed software. There is an app store with many more apps available to install.
Vintage Acer laptop that was end of life according to Google(no longer receiving updates) - New firmware installed (UEFI) to allow install of other operating systems.
Hit escape at startup for boot menu.
This laptop is sold as-is, as pictured - you will NOT receive the laptop specifically in the pictures, you will receive a similar condition laptop with identical specs, we have a few available.
Laptop may have scratches, dents, dings, chips, dust, stickers or sticker residue, hot spots on LCD, chipped plastic, etc.
---> note corporate logo sanded out from top lid. Includes genuine Acer power adapter. Linux is installed, new firmware installed, will NOT boot chromeOS anymore.
