It's nothing to brag about, I love having crossover installed and the fact that I have a FILE BROWSER ;D
The Bad:
The function (top) keys don't work, along with the search button and right clicking (which I only use two finger tap anyway - so no effect on me). Since there is no delete key, that obviously doesnt work and neither does Grub. I wish I could dual boot without code/flipping the switch. Last of my negative rants, the 3G doesn't work.
The Good, The Great And The Awesome:
But negatives aside, it provides a killer OFFLINE mode, the friendly and well known "desktop" and I have the ability to run more than just web apps. Bluetooth is also unlocked in Ubuntu. The media player works as well as skype and running through my external drive, games and CAD using crossover. Also, I love using dual screen functionality.
Lastly, the Chrome Application runs pretty damn amazing, as on any computer.
sounds great. does flash work better on ubuntu (it's horrible right now on ChromeOS.)? and have you tested the gps at all?
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the GPS, I would love to though.
ReplyDeleteI know FB games work on Ubuntu (And not on Chrome OS)
How does the trackpad function? Does it still scroll and right click with two fingers? Or is there a driver that reenables those features?
ReplyDeleteAlso, is it easy to switch back and forth between Chrome and Ubuntu? I'm thinking about doing this so I can run those few desktop apps that have no web counterpart, but I don't want to lose the Chrome functionality.
Well, I have installed Ubuntu on two CR48's. One's mouse works flawlessly with the xorg-input-synaptics driver. One has absolutely no functionality and it's mouse is so annoying that I am going to reinstall Ubuntu.
ReplyDeleteFor the dual booting, there is no selection when the computer starts. You can either boot into one os and type say "ubuntu" in terminal (which requires set up) or pop out the battery and flip the switch. Both are effective and easy. Just a matter of preference.
