I’m in the market for a Linux friendly ultralight laptop to check web apps and run terminal, nothing fancier then that. Do any cheap systems exits these days? I was looking at a chrome book but apparently the mediatek chip doesn’t play nicely with FOSS.

Any thoughts?

    For the usecase you describe, I’d go with a Chromebook, and build ChromeOS from source myself if that aspect felt important.

      ChromiumOS would be better. But you can flash coreboot on lots of Chromebooks and run real Linux on them
