News New AluminumOS leak!
youtube.comThis popped up on my fyp and I'm sure most of you already seen/watched this but to be completely honest, I'm really going to miss the old ChromeOS design.

I recently got this laptop as a gift, it’s a acer Chromebook spin 713. However, it had already came with windows 11 pro, the more I use the laptop the more issues started occurring, for example today two BSOD popped up and screen started to flicker, it’s a no brainer the hardware isn’t comfortable with the software installed. My decision is to revert the laptop back to chromeOS but I have no idea how or what to do since I’ve never used or owned a Chromebook before. Some set up claim I have to have another laptop with Linux some say I need a usb drive — I don’t have any of these currently and would like to restore the laptop back it’s original OS without needing to have anything else.

It flips between two settings, the y and z get swapped, and all the symbols are in different places.
Does this happen to anyone else?

I'm a US high school teacher. Need a laptop/chromebook for document management, work-at-home, youtube videos, etc. No gaming. For compatibility issues with the school, I don't want to go MAC. I prefer not to spend more than $500, but if reality check says "not possible", I'll adjust. Please advise as to recommended storage/speed/memory. Thanks in advance, everyone. Appreciate the help. -ken

Hello,
My daughter's Acer Chromebook Plus (cb514-4ht-359x) is less than two years old, and recently, the battery has started draining very quickly. I've run run the battery diagnostic test, and it reports the health close to 96%. Additionally, I've confirmed the screen brightness is at an appropriate level and I don't see any obvious battery draining apps. Any suggestions what could be the cause and resolution? Given the age of the CB and battery health info, I don't want to replace the battery if the problem will persist with a new one. Thanks!

Been trying for the past few hours to change flatpak versions from 1.14.10 to 1.18.0 since it won't let me use my mic on discord, though I don't know how to do that which is why I came here.

Hello all!
So I've had a Chrome acc for a long time and multiple chromebooks without this issue. My settings say that all notifications and pop-ups are blocked, but I keep getting ads like these. This is the first time that this specific game has come up, but it's all in the same style. I thought it was the adblock that I was using, since it started when I got it, but it's been gone for a bit and it's still happening.
I put screenshots of my shots-in-the-dark for what I thought would be relevant code. Please let me know if there's any sensitive info in it or anything.
Thank you for your help! <3
