In re-purposing a laptop over the holidays, I decided to turn it into a Chromebook and, oh, by the way, see if Scid vs PC would build and run on it without any problems. I was not expecting positive results. Surprise... Along the way I decided to also try booting ChromiumOS installed on a USB flash drive, and test it on a variety of hardware. Again, surprise... Google have been selling alot of these Chromebooks and schools have been installing ChromiumOS on a ton of dated laptops, lately. Crostini was a stroke of inspiration on somebody's part, and looks to have a bright future. It's nice to know we can run Scid vs PC on the platform. Instructions on setting up the build and run environments can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/p/scidpp/mailman/message/36891222/ -- Lionel |
