        By accident I found out that a Chrome OS computer is actually better than Windows 10 for setting up a Pi because it can read Linux filesystems, meaning I have access to both the boot and rootfs partitions. I also found a few remarkable Android apps for SSH and VNC. I did, however, need a Windows device for setup...
