> OS is much better than Windows and, frankly, macOS at this point.

... for a discrete set of tasks, maybe. As a general purpose OS, not a prayer. I know Chrome is trying to become its own OS, and seems to be making pretty good headway, but don't cheat yourself thinking "and I'll just ..." unless that task runs in Chrome. I'm aware of the Linux containers on approved devices but just like WSL2 has some grave impedance mismatch with its Windows parent, so too does Linux with its ChromeOS parent



It's been fine for me and available on every device I've seen the last 3 years, and sometimes wonder what the actual tangible difference to a user is between it and OS X's Unix underpinnings, other than OS X needing a incessant parade of permission dialogs due to it. But I bet it's not great if you tried doing ex. like media production?
