Acer Chromebook 15 for Linux and Wimbledon
Earlier this month my husband and I needed a replacement for the Chromebook that I had installed Linux on after Christmas because the keyboard developed a fault. This was a good opportunity to get an upgrade and to connect the 28-inch monitor to it, allowing us to watch Wimbledon over the Internet (we don't watch TV).

Setting up the machine:
It comes with Chrome OS, but I don't want that:
Switch to developer mode:
Setting it up to not be so locked down:
With Roy's help, installing Ubuntu LTS:
Nearly done:
Running KDE/Plasma (my favourite):
Running XFCE:
Running Unity (which I still try to use on a daily basis after using KDE for years):
We have since then bought a cabinet for the external screen and Roy finished building it 2 days ago, so now we can watch shows while we work (4 screen combined using Synergy). █
