Chrome OS? No, thank you. I'll stay with macOS and keep hoping for the Asahi Linux dream

TL;DR: The author traded a full-fledged workstation with “Liquid Glass” for a web browser with a keyboard.

Author admitted he did nothing worthwhile that justified a full fledged workstation and adopted a tablet with keyboard.

As a Mac user I was pleasantly surprised when I switched to a arch Linux based distribution.

Good Lord, what next? “I switched from Mac to Windows and you can too”?

Might make sense if the Chromebook can be degoogled and set up with a clean Linux distro. Barring that, a regular laptop with Linux may be an option.
