Does https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=357437 help?
This describes setting up calibre using a flatpak. I also documented in this thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=357435 my experience with a non flatpak install. Currently I'm unable to expand on those being computer less. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk |

hm... I thought ChromeOS devs disabled "enable linux apps" feature.
Agree that ChromeOS laptops definitelly have their users. And usually it's schools/education segment and some SOHO companies. Centralized management, good battery life and adoption to use weak hardware and a "low" price as an outcome of previous - are really a huge benefit. But for most power-users it's really not an attractive device. Last time I saw it - there is no actually ability to use internal ssd, only google-drive storage. For me if you want to go with ChromeOS - any old laptop with openSUSE, Fedora or Arch would be just fine. |

The ChromeOS has changed hugely over the years. Currently it's based on a Linux distro (Gentoo?), and originally only a Linux Kernel. Also there are x86-64 and ARM versions.
Current Chomebooks have an SSD and work without the internet. But it's a small SSD. But any 64 bit laptop with Linux Mint + Mate Desktop is better. |

Got it, ya Gentoo is a good one if you need a very custom stuff. Arch, openSUSE, Fedora, Mint and Ubuntu (order matters) are my fav.
