ChromeOS Flex, while easy to use was a major PITA to install.
First it took almost 2 hours for the usb stick to be loaded w the right iso and then another 2 hours verifying the usb iso and then almost 2 more hours to install it onto the laptop.
It does work really well but appalled that a simple Linux install takes less that 10 mins from start to finish while chromeOS takes half the day. It’s worse than a Windows install.
I do love using it tho. It is convenience in an affordable package. No maintenance no configuration just sit down and use. And the battery life on this Elitebook 645 is pretty good as well.
I paid $200 for the computer (16gb ram, amd pro7) and wanted something easy and light to carry.
My 16” MBP M4 Max sitting in the corner collecting dust.
I have long wanted to get off the Apple bandwagon but it’s been really tough cuz idk I end up coming back.
