Just a follow-up.  I've been using GalliumOS on my chromebook for ~6
months.  I like it fine, and in fact despite having nicer laptops within
reach, it's the one I actually type on most.  I'm writing this email on
it.  Again, the keyboard takes some getting used to, but ... well, I'm
used to it.  Works good.  Display is good.  The video performs better
than some of my nicer laptops.  For example, slither.io is mostly
smooth.  My nicer laptops are herky-jerky.
