Steam could launch for Chromebooks soon, mentions game compatibility reports

I've thought about trying that with my wife's old Chromebook, but it looks pretty tricky.

1. It is tricky. It involved removing a physical firmware lock screw. 2. Using a USB with a specific distro (one mentioned in online instructions [External Link]) so I could get access to the firmware to flash it then reformat that USB with the distro I wanted to use and 3. replace the paltry SSD with a larger one that could survive downloading and installing updates.

It's been running solid otherwise.

APT 2.3.12 package manager released, will no longer let you break everything

I like Brodie Robertson's response [External Link]; "I am fully standing behind the fact that Linus has at least some level of responsibility* to make sure that, if a warning shows up, he doesn't delete his entire system; but a bug like this never should have been shipped in the first place and it never should have made its way through QA testing…especially when Pop!_OS is really, really popular for doing gaming, this is something that should've been tested."

*also, Linus acknowledges [External Link] his responsibility.

Can you imagine being new to Linux, trying to install a game launcher, seeing a warning like that during the process? "Yeah forking right—wait, what!?" Growing pains.
