[QUOTE="MoonMind, post: 353051, member: 5637"] Okay, situation has changed again: The Acer Chromebook C720 has reached Auto Update Expiration (AUE) - basically the official EOL of the device; this means that once this thing crashes, I can't even revive it (no more technical support, no more recovery images). Time to phase out the two machines, I guess - the C720 because it's no longer safe to use, the CB3-431 because it's frankly no longer reliable - a liability, more like ... I'll try to convert the C720 to GNU/Linux over the summer, though. Might even be fun - and if it works, I might even try the same thing on the CB3-431; after all, I don't have anything to lose now. In essence, this means that I'm no longer a (regular) Chromebook user for the first time since early 2014. Onwards and upwards, I guess ... M. [/QUOTE]
