I loved the idea way back when but no more chromeos in my life has been goooood.
Last year, I took two out-of-updates chromebooks and put ubuntu on one (for a family member) and batocera on the other. Much better 😉 Besides, removing the bios write protection screws and flashing them felt so 90s.
I also moved an older family member (from one of those) to a cheap-ass HP laptop with ubuntu+chrome on it. They barely noticed the difference.
