Linux is a different Operating system than Windows or Chrome. Most things work on this laptop with Linux, but we cannot guarantee ALL functionality works(linux may need additional drivers for some components). ChromeOS is 100% REMOVED(as these laptops are now end of updates from Google), new firmware has been installed, you can now boot most any OS(we have tested a dozen different linux variations, but we make no guarantees). Ubuntu, Fedora, and Mint seem to work the best. When new, the trackpads on these laptops were described as mushy. A USB mouse is much nicer. This one has Fedora 40 Linux installed(view our other listings for Linux Mint or Manjaro linux pre-installed). Firefox web browser installed - modern updated web browser. Linux includes Libre Office. There is an app store with many more apps available to install.Games in pictures are not installed, but can be found and can be downloaed for FREE in the app store - many games, and other programs work. This is an inexpensive vintage laptop, not ALL programs will work. We do not accept returns, so make sure YOU check specs/system requirements for your application needs. IF you have issues, you can create a bootable USB of your choice of linux install with Rufus on a PC and try something else, or if something goes wrong and you need to re-install.Google for guides. This is a vintage basic use laptop. NOTE - the top "fkeys"(volume, brightness, etc) are not mapped, *YOU* can map them, by default linux doesn't match up, but you can map them - Google for how-to(hint - Gallium OS keyboard layout). Vintage Acer laptop that was end of life according to Google(no longer receiving updates) - New firmware installed (UEFI) to allow install of other operating systems.Hit escape at startup for boot menu. This laptop is sold as-is, as pictured - you will NOT receive the laptop specifically in the pictures, you will receive a similar condition laptop with identical specs, we have a few available.NOTE - there are games installed in pictures that will NOT come on the laptop you receive, search the store to download any that look interesting to you. Please be aware, not all apps in the store work properly, some wont load after install. Try and see what works! We've tested many that work great, as can be seen in the many pictures... HyperRogue, Nexuiz Classic, Warzone 2100, AisleRiot Solitaire, Inkscape, GIMPMaelstrom(Ambrosia software Mac game ported to linux, asteroids clone), KmahjonggDungeon Crawl, SuperTuxKart(mario kart like racer), Battle for Wesnoth.
