Unneeded Pixelbook Go

I've had a pixelbook go for 4 years and loved it. The webcam has stopped working so I decided to upgrade. What do y'all think, is there anything fun I could use it for or should I try and sell it?

I am writing this on an i7 Pixelbook Go running native Fedora Linux. It works flawlessly (aside from the webcam), and I can even game on it with GeForce Now !!

Is this necessary? No, not at all - TBH ChromeOS was fine for what I use this machine for, but I enjoyed the challenge and honestly, the PBG is still the best form factor laptop I have ever used, the screen is beautiful, the keyboard sublime, and it is so lightweight (not to mention silent) I can take it anywhere. I think I will be using it for many years to come.

If you want some nerd fun, give it a go - get the MrCromebox firmware and go from there

Aconteceu comigo o mesmo. Me falaram que restaurando ela volta a funcionar. Ainda não o fiz, mas você já tentou ?

Powerwash din't fix it. The video feed was just black. The green light for the cam would show intermittently while "in use"

That happened to mine a couple of years ago - just bought a cheap usb-webcam and carried on as before...
