      IMO you’re just better off using Debian with their DE directly, then. ChromeOS doesn’t provide anything extra, just a different DE.

        chromeOS provides a LOT. its very easy to use and quite reliable, and its super easy computer illiterate people to get into.

        I have tried most distros, pretty much every single one that claims to be user friendly. not a single one holds a candle to chrome/chromiumOS.

        for a lot of people chromeOS is genuinely a good experience that Linux simply cannot replicate. the polish is very much beyond what other distros provide.

          When I tried it, it seemed like mostly just Debian with another DE, but maybe I/you haven’t tried it recently enough…

          Also,

          for a lot of people chromeOS is genuinely a good experience that Linux simply cannot replicate.

          It’s literally Linux.

            traditional linux distros, sorry thought the implication was obvious.

            but the user experience really is different, its been great since my family and old customer base love it and need a lot less help with it
