  2. Re: suddenly all proton/wine games don't function?

    I have had some games update and become unrunnable. I managed to install the Glorious Eggroll reboot of Proton on my Manjaro box, and it runs just about everything I have thrown at it.
  3. Re: Can you install Ubuntu, or Xubuntu on a Acer c720 Chromebook?

    The original 2012 Acer C7 had a 360GB hard drive, and, with Chrubuntu, made for a great $200 Linux laptop. More recent Chromebooks have far smaller SSDs instead.

    I'd get a nice cheap new Windows...
