leaving Windows for a *nix
Is a great idea, but if you have some apps that you use a lot, it can restrict you or make you wonder how to do it
I want Sky Sports / Virgin Media. So unless I fudge a ChromeOS onto a machine to be able to install apps,it is not going to work. It was a faff to do, and as it is, I cannot remember if Sky Sports actually ran or not.
I want Onedrive and to download all the data to my local machine (for backup reasons). I can fudge that with a couple of 3rd party apps for linux, but that does not run Sky Sports, but the Chrome OS I cannot see where it may even download the files from OneDrive too.
So for me, to have a device that does sky/vrigin and onedrive is a challenge. I currently have a PC in the front room with this, which I use a lot when I am watching some sport in the quiet while other programmes are on that we watch together, and the one in the outbuilding is the only way to get sky/virgin on that TV. Don't fancy getting linux running to do Onedrive elements and then buying a table of some sort for the Sky. As it is I am not sure if there is a 15" tablet which is what my laptop screens are.
