Ran on my Dell XPS 15 9560 (4k) using brunch with the rammus recovery
Mostly funs.
- Battery seem to be better than linux, equal to windows.
- With normal usage laptops doesn't get hot even while wathcing 4k videos on youtube. Note that this also results in way less often the fan ramping up :)
- Crostini works great and is by default setup to passtough localhost.
- Crostini can run ubuntu, fedora, arch and more
- Docker runs perfectly fine on Crostini compaired to the windows subsytem this is much better
- Touchpad*(-gestures)* and Touchscreen*(-gestures)* works great and in my opinion better than on linux
- Android apps work like they do on any other chromebook
- standby works with TMP disabled and
s3_suspendadd to the boot options - Wayland apps run amazingly under crostini
- Updates can break the device
- Xorg Desktop Linux apps ran via crostini run terrable so forget using things like vscode
- Linux sometimes takes forever to do certain things like finishing an update or starting to install something seems to be some sort of IO issue (Seems to be only an issue in debian the default linux distro).
- Chromebooks have different action keys and some of them are not available on a windows style keyboards sadly you cannot modify the system shotcuts :(
- Keyboard shotcuts sometimes do not work especally
alt+tab, moving mouse seems to resolve them - Animations do not match touchpad guestures, first you put in the touchpad guestures after that the animation is played like switching workspaces or showing all desktops, supper annoying!
- Android apps are a mess. Apps like discord, slack and youtube are all unusable though i need to note this is not spesific to my device this is a mess on all Chrome OS devices.

hey will your gpu fan stop spinning instantly? or will it just slow down?
My gpu is GTX 1650 and i uses
\_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._OFF, the script works and the /run/proc/call shows 0x0called` . I think the function is successfully invoked but gpu fan still spinning crazily and my laptop's still hot for a long time.
