A large state corporation in Brazil is currently trialing 800 Linux PCs. If successful, it will deploy and replace 22k Windows installs, comparable to the migration happening in Germany.

Maybe designed to be used with googles Stadia (now defunct I think)?

Stadia has been abandoned for long enough I don’t think it’d be used in marketing.

This was the description:

Acer - Chromebook 516 GE Cloud Gaming Laptop - 16" 2560x1600 120Hz - Intel Core i5-1240P - 8GB RAM - 256GB SSD

Looks like it comes with 3 months of GeForce Now and Amazon Luna.

I was mistaken about the GeForce iGPU - that placard must’ve been for GeForce Now. It has an Iris Xe.

I think I saw Xbox Game pass in the marketing too.

Still, pretty cool idea.

I think they’re also working on getting Steam running. I don’t remember how that’s going, though.
