Chromebooks supposedly run Linux apps "natively." This is false. You have to install a virtual machine on top of Chrome OS, and even then, performance is spotty, which will be hugely disappointing to anyone used to running Linux.

@itsgoingdown I'm in Madison, but quite leery of the ISO.

@craigmaloney @impiaaa @Are0h I've long had the idea of starting a classic rock radio station that simply plays the 98% of songs from the classic-rock era that didn't become hits.

@ntnsndr @tbeckett @mattcropp Very cool. We need more of this kind of thing.

@hummingrain There's only one solution: start a TV show.

@mattcropp @Heavysnack I've considered it.
