chrome os

[TheBean]

lemme get this straight. chrome os can run android apps, chrome webstore apps, *and* linux apps? dude thats amazing. Why isnt everyone using this??

[RollTime]

Because it can't run actual apps.

if you can get linux apps, get wine then use windows apps?

because wine is far from perfect.

 

Also there slow limited systems why not just use anouther standard linux distro?

[RollTime]

Lower performance and a huge hassle, and not guaranteed to work.

even with the high end chromebooks like the pixelbook, windows programs dont run very well on wine.

Ya hold on let me do 20 workarounds to get one OS to run another OS to run my windows apps at 50% the performance instead of just using windows in the first place.

Excellent idea!

i was thinking about getting a pixel slate for my mom. chrome os is much simpler for her.
