then chrome os flex is just a hype to get more consumers IMO
isnt it better to just run a lightweight linux rather than spy os?
No, at least I haven't experienced this at all. I used chrome flex on my PC, and lemme say, the experience isn't remotely like running linux. The integration it has with your phone, and the slick and accessible UI it provides to its users? Not available anywhere. Granted it isn't for a power user, but I don't think its the target market anyway. It's gonna have a market of people who don't care what software their PC runs, just want a bigger screen and kb/m support to enjoy content without having to worry about wonky UIs and nightmare updates. Maybe Google will kill it(the flex OS, the chromebooks ain't going anywhere), I could see people preferring this over any OS currently in market, at least those who use windows just cause they have to. And, even if its just linux with spyware, like google says, "Those kids who are gonna grow up with chromebooks... they would want a machine they are already familiar with.", and they are sure as heck able to give themselves one even if google ain't able to give them the pixelbook they demand.
Its just chromeOS flex has no use for us guys, who are in a thread about linux in a forum.
