Please help this Linux NOOB

Okay maybe it’s changed over time then.

Either way if full Chrome is available to you then you may as well install that.

Never had that issue with chromium, sync always worked irrespective if it was on chrome or chromium. Run chrome on windows and chromium on linux, add a bookmark etc on chrome and it appears in chromium.

And all extensions and the like too?

So why two different options at all then? I always thought Chrome just includes the proprietary stuff?

Yes, same for extensions etc.

I have never once needed a DVD to recover a Linux install and I’m sure most people here will tell you the same.

This isn’t Windows where the default answer is to reinstall.

Never mind the fact that you generally don’t need to recover it at all.

Well for the most part you're right. Linux is also doing much better these days i.t.o driver support. However I would still recommend anyone to keep those DVD tools around.
