3 months agoI am. My Asus Chromebook aged out of support, so I put PopOS on it using this guide. Luckily, I had a compatible board, so I didn’t have to physically alter anything:

Runs pretty decently, although boot up is rather slow.
Media playback has been just fine for me, both browser streaming and local files via VLC. Battery is a little harder for me to say because my battery, according to ChromeOS, was at 85% health, but I’ve watched 4-5 hours of YouTube straight one day when I was sick, and I think it was around 20% when I woke up and plugged in from 100%.
