If I’m understanding this correctly, this is an officially supported Chrome OS that runs on traditional PCs (e.g. devices that come with Windows pre-installed)
This could be an interesting middle-ground for someone who can’t/won’t use Windows anymore but isn’t quite ready to take the plunge into Linux just yet
I switched 100% to Linux just a few years ago, but before that I definitely went through a period of wishing it were possible to run Chrome OS on my custom gaming PC
I’ve got a Pixelbook, and I’ve been very happy with having a secure and managed Linux-ish environment
I don’t understand. You wanted to run Windows games on ChromeOS?
That would have been awesome
I could never get Chrome OS / Chromium OS to even boot on my AMD rig, but I think the plan back then was to dual-boot for games (probably because there weren’t any Chromebooks with AMD CPU and discrete AMD GPU), but do actual work in Chrome OS
These days, I just do both in Linux, wine/proton is excellent
So, Chrome OS Flex is just a few years too late for me :)
