I'm currently ordering a used Chromebook to try to install Tiny11 on it. If it doesn't work, I'm only out fifty dollars plus shipping.

I got a $40 used chromebook (this model), installed arch + xfce and had a great experience using it as a travel laptop. Some things that have worked well on it:

  • steam
  • portal 1
  • half life 1 and 2
  • celeste
  • minecraft with optimization mods (60 fps!)
  • trackmania nations forever (only on the smaller maps - it was running through proton so it was slow)
  • blender (even with editing fairly complex models actually, but rendering outside of workbench was slow)
  • freecad
  • musescore

its kinda fallen apart now, idk if its the os or the hardware, probably the os but it fails to boot 3/4 of the time and the headphone jack doesn't really work, imma try to reinstall soon
