The system auto updates by itself, but it’s not an annoying update process like Windows can be. Chrome OS is also probably the OS that requires the least amount of maintenance, even compared to something like Windows or macOS. These are the same types of laptops to have Intel Celerons, 4GB of RAM, and sometimes storage as low as 16GB. It was designed with crappy $100 laptops in mind. In terms of some of the pros, it’s very lightweight.
But Chrome is also a bad choice for a lot of people who depend on their computers for professional work. This makes the OS very dependent on web apps and things along that nature and makes Chrome OS one of the best choices for people who just want to go on Facebook or write a Google Doc occasionally. So, Google thought, why not get rid of the “bloat” that is an operating system and make Chrome the operating system. The idea is that most people just boot into whatever their OS is, and then the only thing they do is open a web browser. If you don’t know what Chrome OS is, it’s an operating system built around Chrome. What we’ll be going through is the pros and cons, the installation process, and my personal experience with it as I’ve been playing around with Chrome OS Flex on all the devices, I have available to me.
Chrome OS Flex is a way to run Chrome OS on almost any computer you would like, even if it isn’t a Chromebook.
