The big surprise to me here is that you could apparently buy a whole console for the price of two games, that’s not how I remember it!

I asked a similar question last month, there were some really detailed replies in there which you might find helpful
Get a Steam Deck and huff the exhaust vent. Same vibes, probably the same chemical damage.
It’s just a big fan of the Italian Grand Prix
Best hang on to those goodberries flower boy, I’m a war cleric
I don’t think it’s trying to cash in on sm64’s popularity, it seems more like it’s their favourite game and they want to do something cool with it. It’s a port/demake, it’s not like they’re trying to make a new game.
Like butter spread over too much bread?
Then why aren’t you studying physics?
The allowable exception is when the what is a what the fuck, as in you had to use a hack so horrible that it requires an apology comment
I’ve been hearing about it on and off for nearly a decade, still don’t know if it’s actually a thing
It’s not clear why Google wants to do this

I think it used to be called “cloudready” until Google bought it and made it official. It seems like it’s aimed more at businesses and schools that want a fleet of Chromebooks, but it seems alright for the casual tinkerer too.

It’s always the way with new innovations, they start off a bit buggy and you’re never sure if they’re just a gimmick. Hopefully we’re seeing the technology mature (and more critically become affordable!)
I’d love for phones to go back to being all shapes and sizes, we’ve had like 15 years of identical rectangles!
ChromeOS Flex is an interesting one; it’s definitely not as flexible as a proper Linux distro but if you need something simple and hard-to-break to run on an old machine (for instance for an elderly relative who’s still using Windows XP) then it could be worth a shot. That said, I’m now investigating whether Linux Mint is a better choice for my own elderly relatives!
Not an actual answer, but I think a Chromebook reaching EoL doesn’t mean it stops getting all updates. I think it’s something along the lines of it stops getting firmware updates but it still gets browser updates, though worth checking exactly what’s happening on your specific device. If you’re feeling crazy you can even try installing ChromeOS Flex on it and it should miraculously be “supported” again.
Ah, as in opening vertically rather than horizontally?
