Hi,
I have a Switch 10V with only 30GB storage, which my mum uses for simple browsing.
I was wondering if I could reformat the drive and install a version of Chromium on it instead? I am considering installing Chromium instead for a variety of reasons: smaller install. Apparently some versions take up less than 20GB. potential of using Android.
But would WiFi and 3G still work? Would the detachable keyboard still work? Are there any other limitations? Printing? Attaching the USB.
If I go ahead, does anyone have any recommendations of the best chromium to use? For example, which is the smallest Chromium OS that would work, and another factor as the screen works like a tablet, would it also be able to be set up like Android, to use Google Play Store and install Android Apps?
Thanks for your ideas and suggestions.

Yes almost/probably. You can likely install a variant of the open source chromium operating system from which the chrome variant derives. Follow directions at this link. https://www.lifewire.com/install-chrome-os-on-pc-4174289Jack E/NJ
