I love the idea of Chrome OS Flex, but I wish Google extended the same support to hardware designed for Chrome OS...
If only my School District could use Chrome OS Flex to get some more life out of the fleet 4 year old Chromebook's that can no longer get updates
The OS does a great job of exactly two things: web browsing and linux stuff. It won't do more than that, but if that's all you need it is great.
I honestly think you could make some decent cash just by buying 9 year old laptops off the internet, installing chrome OS flex, and selling them as perfectly usable chromebooks.
Any questions about what the OS can do? AMA
The endgame is that you don't have upgrade your laptop anymore, not just install apps fast.
I am writing this comment on Chrome OS Flex and can not say enough good things about Chrome OS Flex. I installed it on my wife's old macbook air (~2013) and it brought new life to a machine that we had written off as useless.

Back then it wasn’t possible to run anything other than Chrome itself outside of dev mode, but I’ve seen people running/installing VSCode on chromeOS (not in the web browser). Is that feasible?

Ha, for a minute I thought Google actually built a Cloud-native OS. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't really see the use-case for this. Sounds like it could be an orchestration solution for schools or bootcamps at best. What's incredible about real cloud-native operating systems is that "OS" is merely an acronym. The reality is that companies like Mighty are working on cloud-native computers, where even hardware upgradabi…

Love how Google is advocating this for cost savings and sustainability. If only my School District could use Chrome OS Flex to get some more life out of the fleet 4 year old Chromebook's that can no longer get updates

Replacing an EOL version of Chrome OS with a different version of Chrome OS makes no sense.
