I find myself with one spare Chromebook, and I figured I'd see what else I can do with it.

Yeah, I'm literally looking for a distro that I can slap Firefox on and nothing else. The battery life on my main system has gotten to the point that "atrocious" would be an improvement, and, well, my dad's not going to be using the Chromebook I got him in 2021, seeing as how he's dead. Much like my laptop battery.
