I just got an hp dragonfly Chromebook, and there's an app called "apps and games" preinstalled. I've tried launching it and there's no internet connection, despite internet working fine everywhere else.

I did some internet investigation, and it turns out this feature was added in 2024 and is also known as "chrome mall" which is at least slightly less generic of a name making internet searches actually useful. Thanks, Google, for using such bland naming schemes that it's impossible to actually find info about anything.

There's also apparently a flag in chrome to turn the app shelf link on or off, which isn't present in my device at all. I can't remove the entry from the apps menu, and the app itself is non functional.

So what gives? Was the service discontinued or is something wrong with my device? It's updated to the current chrome is version and everything else is working perfectly.

Seriously, this is a fantastic app. I use it professionally to annotate maps, marking to work plans and schedules. It works better than Samsung notes, which was my previous goto for similar work. But, xnotes is private and isn't locked to the manufacturer. The developer has been very prompt adding new requested features and fixing bugs. I can't say enough good things about such an outstanding app.

With integrated iris graphics. There's a few posts about the device working mostly directly except for the touch screen. Can anybody conform if they have this device: does everything work properly or are some components still broken?

The OS won't allow folder or file names that start with a . to hide them. This is reserved for system files.

Is there any simple way to create hidden files and folders?

Edit: figured it out. Use the mv command in terminal to rename it.

Sudo mv /MyFiles/folder /MyFiles/.folder
