Raja unchained

Our sparkly gold clamshell Acer Chromebook 14 (2014 model, bought in 2017) has not been getting ChromeOS updates for years now and her ability to run software has been getting gradually more impaired that whole time.

We were planning to root her and install a jailbreak Linux years ago, but the last time we started investigating the process it was complicated and we got distracted before accomplishing anything. This time waxjism found a whole website devoted to it and has gotten mostly through the process!

Although she was supposed to make her special signature tomato risotto tonight before this very sudden whim struck. She is hyperfocusing, but she insists she hasn't forgotten the risotto. We did eat a late lunch.

Raja was originally bought so we could watch Black Sails (because wherever it was streaming at the time wouldn't run on our desktops), and has been intermittently handy as a super-light buddy since. Now that we're cat divorced one or both of us usually has trouble reaching our desktops, so this is important. Maybe this will empower us to root our two old Galaxy Pads too.
