Great video. Tons of information with no fluff. Thank you. So many videos are filled with random talk and not enough facts. Thanks.
Been a long time Chrome OS fan. After using it and then going back to Windows, Mac, or a Linux distro I quickly miss it and come back to it every time. It's so simple and snappy, its clean and out of the way. I think every computer user should use it and see if there's actually something they can't do on it. It also gets people in the good habit of using cloud storage and not local storage which is prone to drive failures and data loss. I've never lost a file since using it.
Lol, you said "Ok Google!" and my faithful mobile instantly activated it 😂
Incredible review, sir. Thank you!
Sounds like the perfect tool to make a media hub PC and connect it to a TV. If it can stream to screens it would be even better. I'm deffinetely eager to try after this vid.
Hello Mr. Tex. Your review of Chrome OS Flex is pretty darned amazing and well edited. Thank you for all of the work you put in, it shows!

Using ChromeOS Flex to post this. Runs way faster than Windows 8.1 or 10. Dual Core Pentium.
does have a terminal like normal linux?does exe work or ? because if so im upgrading rn , it looks like its not full of unnecessary bs that eats a pc
So is the main difference between Flex and Chrome OS that Flex better supports wider hardware? That is a bit of a game changer and a new direction for Google, especially given the lack of support on older hardware by Windows 11!

Simplicity and popularity. Chrome OS itself is popular, so many are likely to try Flex if they want something other than Windows. Linux isn't as widely known, and isn't sold on anywhere near as many machines. Chrome OS and Chrome OS Flex are indeed different a number of ways, but for the less tech savvy people it doesn't matter. Ironically though, Chrome OS Flex is built on Gentoo. However, despite it being based on Gentoo Linux it's not really considered a Linux distribution. More or less something else entirely.

I absolutely love ChromeOS, ChromiumOS and it's forks, don't get me wrong but I have to say: 1. that the "since chrome os is based on the Linux Kernel, you can install linux apps" does not hold anymore cause Windows Subsystem for Linux exists. 2. you can install some Windows apps on chrome os but it's not great. you just have to install wine, playonlinux. now, the reasons why it's not great is that Wine does not support a large library of apps and you are running windows apps in linux in chromeos.
