Linux Lord Linus Torvalds is thinking about making Google's Chromebook Pixel his main computer – once he installs a proper Linux distribution on the machine, that is.

I agree. Google Chromebook is good for what it does, but Linus Torvalds wants to add to it Linux for additional functionality. Simple, functional and to the point. I agree. If this Ubuntu laptop ever breaks down, I may go my hero's way to do the same thing.

I won't make this a PC bashing thread, but in light of its history, I rather go back to something reliable and not so complicated IMO. And don't let people tell you that you have to be a "geek" to run Google or Linux (as if Microsoft is simpler). I'm anything BUT a geek and I find Linux easier and not as attitudinal (not to mention no virus issue that plagues the average PC user several times a year, several formats and maybe hundreds of dollars in repair bills). frankly, I don't know diddly on Linux as I do Microsoft. In Microsoft you have to be a geek to correct it's many problems, but Linux hardly has any (it has some issues but usually local programming ones easily fixed).
 
Anyone having any trouble with Google Chrome? I like it, but my laptop (Windows 7) seems to be crashing a lot more since I began using it. It plays YouTube with fewer issues than Firefox, though.


Oh, wait, Google Chromebook is an OS?
