Yeah, that's a heck of a title.
So, I'm at a conference right now for work, and I've been ill the last 24-36 hrs. Like, no food/drink ill, with all that implies. So, I've missed some things here and don't know how my boss feels about it. I've texted, and it seems ok, but who the hell knows these days. I feel really bad about missing some of the presentations, because it's important to get this information in my field, as it tends to provide us with directions to go that may involve proposals to our legislature for changes to laws and such.
Anyway, that's the backdrop for this. I'm currently sitting in my hotel room and trying to get work done on a training manual and keep track of what my direct reports are doing in my unit back home, while I'm here feeling like someone keeps punching my gut every few minutes.
I don't use a state laptop, not been issued one. I also don't use Windows on my personal laptop. Sometimes that creates issues in accessing items I need. So since we made the big switcharoo a few years ago to google as our email/office suite etc, I sometimes need Chrome to access it. I know a browser's a browser, and I personally don't use Chrome at all if I can avoid it. I don't really even like using Chromium, but I will if it gets work done.
So today, in an effort to get all my passwords and links synced to my laptop I went to install Chrome. I use voidlinux. I love it but sometimes a package I need isn't there and usually I just find something else to use. Today I just needed to have Chrome with all it's bells and whistles to access some sites for work.
Luckily there was a great tutorial on building the package for xbps to install, and by following that I think I see how to do some other things on my laptop with building other packages for it. I appreciate the tutorial and wanted to point it out to anyone else trying to do what I was and get the official Chrome installed under Void. So KURO, thank you very much!
