> Microsoft Office Online works fine on Linux. In fact, it’s superior to native MS Office in terms of stability. It may work for your case - good. Many companies have custom VBA macros that runs on…

(My original comment was about about running a Linux VM inside ChromeOS.) To answer your questions, it depends. On some Chromebook models you can wipe ChromeOS and install Linux.

Honest question, if you buy (just a hypothetical, I assume most parents can't afford to buy one) a Chromebook for your kid that will be used in school, do you have to lock it down or can you enab…

This is why I said "that I fully own". I said nothing about a school issued Chromebook because I never touched one of these.

You really can't compare a Chromebook with an iPad. On a Chromebook that I bought and that I fully own I can enable the Linux system and install whatever I want on it (it runs in a VM and it is…

Technically any recent Chromebook can run Linux in a VM if enabled from settings. Now, I don't know if most schools forbid this, but since it is running in a VM it is safe to use for sure.

It really depends. Personally I find my 13" MacBook Pro to be good enough for when I'm on the go, but at home I connect it to an external display for programming. (It also depends on how goo…

I get it through my public library.

How many hours per day is Google CEO "enjoying" the pleasures of (vibe) coding ?

It will affect every hacker parent that has to buy a Google sanctioned device for his/her kid to use in school. At least with ChromeOS you can enable the Linux VM which makes it an Okish Linux ma…

WhisperX with pyannote, but it is not perfect, sometime for the same speaker you will get multiple labels. There is no open source fire and forget solution as far as I know.

Mostly because of static linking. C and C++ don't put every library they need in the binary by default. The advantage is that a pure Go or Rust binary just works (most of the time) when copied fr…

FreePascal has a text mode IDE similar to the old Turbo Pascal 7.0 that you can use in a Terminal. So you can use a modern Pascal compiler from it.
