Got this Chromebook for $35 in Goodwill and I'm surprisingly pleased with it!

For context, I already loaded Lubuntu on an HP Chromebook g5 11 a couple years ago by MrChromebox's firmware (which is amazing!), but that laptop was too underpowered to even browse on the web. So I got this laptop for the fun of it and as a third system for me to use (in addition to the HP chromebook and my own desktop PC). Although it's a decade old, it still kicks for browsing and directly installing Linux apps. It's even good for light 2D indie games too.

Only thing is that it's massive (Reeces christmas tree for scale in third photo), but I don't mind that at all. Additionally, the audio aux on this specific chromebook doesn't work and it's listed on MrChromebox's website, but using Bluetooth headphones works perfectly fine.
