I hate chromebooks with the very fiber of my being

I needed a laptop basically to use the Internet and office type stuff. $150 plus a new SSD, then replace ChromeOS with Mint and it works great!

Absolutely same. I hate having them in my house, supporting them, and dealing with them when they shit the bed because they're too underpowered to run a fucking web browser. School systems need to stop buying these goddamn things and stop caving to slimy salespeople selling Chrome plugins for schoolwork.
