Comment on Google might breathe new life into old Chromebooks with ChromeOS Flex
Salamendacious@lemmy.world 1 year agoThe batteries are usually trash on these too because they’re constantly cycling the battery. Sometimes multiple times a day. Anything that potentially keeps them out of a landfill is a win in my book.

Agreed. This and Googles announcement last month of supporting new chromebooks for 10 years is a step in the right direction.

My Chromebook went EOL this summer. I can’t decide if I want to get another Chromebook or a Windows laptop. Chromebooks are not as cheap as they used to be but I’ve been hearing Windows is considering a subscription model. In the vein of Adobe’s subscription suite I imagine. 10 years of updates plus some kind of post-EOL Linux path might push me over the edge.

what about Linux? you get a real OS plus security updates until your hardware lasts
