Dear Chris. Thank you for amazing content throughout the years. I was wondering thought If you could make a Windows 8.1 debloat, or atleast one-driver, telemetry removal script of sorts. We have an old laptop which does not run well even with debloated windows 10. Win 8.1 seem to work fine, but the bloatware is quite annoying :) thank you !

@@ravitejaknts There was nothing implying "buying" in my post. The question is out of curiosity and to have fun. But, that being said, imagine you already have one lying around, gathering dust (maybe you were given one as a present or a studying tool, or bought it way back, whatever). You can try various things with it, having fun in the process, probably finding more actual use for the machine you considered useless, or you can throw it away. Which one is better? Just a thought.
@ChrisTitusTech3 жыл бұрын
Yes, you can do this, but most of the chromebooks have hardware specific keys that make it less than ideal. For instance there is no Meta Key and it is missing all the F1-F10 keys and instead has a search key that is required to press to do a F-Key. It would be pretty wierd doing it on a Chromebook, but entirely possible. The other draw back is the starting screen always wants to format and reinstall stock google because of the custom firmware. It just is not a great experience.

Ok, i actually kind of hate the idea of chromebooks in the first place, they are modern examples of netbooks, computers that shouldn't exist anymore. I literally can go out and buy a secondhand laptop that has better specs, more storage and COSTS LESS than a chromebook with much worse specs. At that point the chromebook is reduced to basically e-waste as the secondhand laptop will beat it in every way, except maybe portability. I get that lots of people just use chrome or another browser on their laptops and that's fine but my point being you can find something cheaper and BETTER easily. The cherry on top is that those second hand laptops will have windows or macos preinstalled, both of which are far more usable as an actual operating system, and better yet you can install linux on the windows laptops to speed them up and make them even more useful. That means you won't have these idiotic workarounds like installing unofficial package managers and running virtual machines on an already power-starved machine just to have something other than chrome or phone apps on it. That's my vent over at least. I liked the video!

@@justsomeguy8385 netbooks were fine for the time because at that time there wasn't really a good option for a cheap good secondhand laptop since laptops weren't as popular as they are now. Also battery tech in the recent years has gotten so much better, it's hard to find a laptop with truly bad battery life. I think chromebooks are useful in a school or office setting as a computer to look something up quickly or to simply be cheap. Nothing much other than that though.
@call_me_stan58873 жыл бұрын
It is snappy but bear in mind your hardware is not exactly weak to begin with. The problem with most of the chromebooks is that they are cheap but also - as a rule of thumb - not the best hardware around. Last time I asked for the exact model you had because it looked kind of expensive - and it is not very cheap, indeed. Which is not ideal for a chromebook which are expected to be cheap - especially that they are somewhat limited in capabilities or upgradeability anyway.

I really want to like ChromeOS and hardware, and I dabble with it. But bottom line, its a very limiting place. And in terms of VMs or more extensive compute, as most units come with fairly nasty hardware, and lack being able to upgrade RAM/HD, even dabbling in VMs here is kind of like fighting a dead end.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I've watched both videos and it's still pretty meh.
