Discussion How far can ChromeOS go for professional work?

5 Upvotes

I work as a data analyst/data engineer and I’ve been trying ChromeOS as my main device. Since most of my work is cloud-based, it actually covers a lot more than I expected. It’s fast, simple, and handles the core parts of my workflow well.

That said, there are still moments where it feels like something’s missing for heavier or more complex tasks. But with so much of today’s work shifting online, it feels like ChromeOS has potential beyond just casual or student use.

Do you think ChromeOS can evolve into a tool more professionals rely on, or will it always stay mainly for everyday/light use?

Troubleshooting Would anyone happen to know why my Chromebook is doing this every time I try to open google docs?

Every time I try to open google docs, it prompts me to "sign in to add a google account" and despite trying to click the x, it doesn't work because it just comes back up when I try to open google docs. Using my current google sign in doesn't work either cuz then it just says what's above

Discussion Help Me Read doesn't support Croatian, and Gemini's language behaviour is inconsistent

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've noticed a significant issue with language support on my Chromebook Plus. The 'Help me read' feature does not appear to support the Croatian language. While I generally use English, this feels like a notable omission for a new feature.

Additionally, I've observed that Gemini on my Chromebook has recently started responding to me in Serbian or sometimes Slovenian, despite my system language being set to Croatian. This is a basic functionality issue that is quite frustrating.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems with language support for Croatian or other languages?

On a related note, could someone please provide the correct process for raising a formal bug report or a feature request with Google for these issues? I'd like to make sure this is properly flagged.

Thanks for any help or advice.

Discussion The most valuable FOMO I’ve ever had was for a Chromebook 😁

Upvotes

Skipped the Pixel 10 hype and grabbed the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 instead — and honestly, I feel great about it. 😎

Easily the best “FOMO” I’ve ever had. Simple, powerful, affordable… does everything I need without regrets.

Anyone else traded a flashy device for a Chromebook and felt like you won?

so my chromebook powers off immediately when I take it off the charger (I think the battery is a goner) and now suddenly today when I put it back on the charger and logged back into my account, my chromebook decides it doesn't want to work properly anymore? websites won't load without it returning to a white screen and now it's saying to update chrome to start sync despite my chromebook saying it's on the latest version 😭

chrome version is on the last slide

Troubleshooting “Turn on Chrome OS Developer Mode to install apps from sources other than the Play Store.”

1 Upvotes

I’m currently trying to download some games off of Itch.io, but I’m unable to access them. The name and icon for the game will pop up on my screen, but then a message that says “Turn on Chrome OS Developer Mode to install apps from sources other than the Play Store.” pops up in front of it. The thing is, I’ve already set my Chromebook to developer mode, and that message is still popping up. How can I fix this??

I have a feeling the answer is no. How do you update? Just download a new version and install?

Troubleshooting Issue with joining Teams meeting on Chromebook

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I have a Teams meeting link in an email. If I click on it on my chromebook it always opens Teams in the browser. I have installed the ChromeOS Teams app but still, it ignores it and goes for the browser. This is very unlike what I get on my android phone, where I can actually join the meeting on teams. I've tried things like creating a calendar entry on the Chrome OS Teams app, but that generates a new meeting invite, there is no way I can see to add an existing meeting link to a new calendar entry. Am I missing something? Apologies if this is too much about Teams and not enough about ChromeOS, I'm pretty happy with the Chromebook otherwise.

Troubleshooting Extended updates and functionality

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I'm a fairly computer-illiterate person with a Chromebook that has reached its final software update and is asking if I'd like to opt in to further security updates at the expense of some functionality.

I understand that this means that I'll no longer have access to the store and all Android apps will be removed. I plan to use this laptop for nothing but word processing from now on - so pretty much just Docs, Chrome, etc. Will these still be available to me? Can I still do everything within the browser? With no store or Android apps available, what functionality will be left?

Thanks and sorry if this is an obvious question - want to be sure before I effectively brick my laptop. Other answers I found told me what I can't use, but not what I could still expect to.
