So, Chromebooks are pretty neat, right? They work straight out of the box with an easy setup process and an operating system that just does its thing. They’re perfect for those who aren’t really into all the techy stuff. But hey, even experienced users like myself can get a lot out of a Chromebook. I actually ditched my Windows PC for one, and I haven’t regretted it one bit.
Now, ChromeOS may not be as customizable as Linux or Windows, but it’s got plenty of power if you know how to use it. After tweaking some basic settings, you can really level up your Chromebook skills and do more with less. So, here are some next steps you should take to up your game:
Learn all those nifty keyboard shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts are where it’s at, my friends. Seriously, if you want to boost your productivity, memorize as many keyboard shortcuts as you can and use them like it’s nobody’s business. Why waste time moving your hand from keyboard to mouse when you can do it all with a simple keystroke? Efficiency, people! You can find a list of all the keyboard shortcuts in ChromeOS by using a shortcut to open them up. Or you can take the scenic route and navigate through settings. Your call.
Pin your favorite apps to the shelf
Pinning apps to your Chromebook shelf is like the cherry on top. If you’re constantly opening the same apps, why not pin them to your shelf for easy access? It’s like having your favorite stuff right at your fingertips without all the digging around. Just open the launcher, find the app you want, right-click, and pin it. Easy peasy. And if you change your mind, you can unpin it just as easily. So, let’s make life a little simpler, shall we?
