In augustus (zie blog augustus 2026), zocht ik naar een nieuwe chromebook.
De keus was voor een kwaliteits merk. Ik vond lovende test van de Lenovo Chromebook met een MediaTek Kompanio processor.
Bij de vorige Chromebook, de Asus koos ik voor een Intel processor, aangezien ik ook Debian wil gebruiken.
Tegenwoordig draait Linux Debian ook uitstekend op een Arm processor.

Opmerking: ,,, UFS storage is faster than eMMC!
After spending a week with the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14, I can confidently say it’s one of the best Chromebooks I’ve used.
Zie: developers.google: It's easy to set up Linux, aka Crostini, on ChromeOS
First, go to Settings, expand the “Advanced” menu and go to “Developers”. Then “Turn on” Linux
NOTICE:
To simplify system architecture and maintenance, Crostini has switched
by default to a containerless design for new environments starting in
ChromeOS version 143 and newer.
If you experience unexptected issues with the new design, please report
them using the instructions available at
https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-library/guides/bugs/platform-public-tracker/.
If you would like to revert to the previous system architecture, you may
visit chrome://flags#containerless-crostini in your Chrome browser and set
the flag to "Disabled", then restart your device, and un- and reinstall
Crostini.

AI-overzicht:
ChromeOS has transitioned its Linux environment (Crostini) to a containerless architecture codenamed Baguette, running the guest OS directly inside a virtual machine rather than using an LXD container.
This update improves startup speed, drops old LXC dependencies, and allows nested container tools like Docker or Podman to run smoothly.
Key Changes in Containerless Mode:
Architecture: Skips the LXC container layer to run Linux right inside the Termina/Baguette VM.
Performance: Faster start times and direct access to host features like swap files.
Nesting: Better native support for tools like Docker and Podman.
