How much of a PIA is it to install Linux on a Chromebook? I’m looking for a small laptop and Chromebooks are the perfect size.
I am stalking you.

Same here. Mandrake 8.2 was a buggy mess, but I have fond memories of it.
I use rtorrent and it’s pretty straightforward.
As an old fart, I’m happy to see that Debian is still cool. All of this arch-manjaro-nix-os-awesome-bspwm-i3-xmonad-flatsnap whippersnapper stuff is over my head.
Same here. Still running Debian 11 and it’s working well.
macOS at work and Debian on my personal computer.

Personally, I consider macOS, BSDs, and Linux real “Unixes”.
My media library over SSHFS. The server runs Debian 11 and the client is an old Linux Mint laptop in my basement hooked up to a TV. The laptop only has access to my local network.
I rsync my entire library with an sdcard every week. The initial sync is slow, but the subsequent syncs are fast since only new files get copied over.
I back up my home folder to an encrypted drive once a week using rsync, then I create a tarball, encrypt it, and upload it to protondrive just in case.
I use Debian with a patched version of motif window manager. The 90s never ended:
Firefox + uBlock Origin + Reader View
Congrats!
