This is a little like IBM acquiring Red Hat. I wonder if Google will just kill Neverware, similar to what IBM did to CentOS

- markstos 6y agoIt's more like RedHat acquiring CentOS, but yes that's a legitimate concern. I've used CloudReady to turn old laptops that would otherwise be junked into Chromebooks, adding years to their life for family members that needed very low maintenance simple laptop like a Chromebook. It will be a shame environmentally if it becomes harder to rehab old laptops like this in the future.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 6y agoOne other option that I like is ElementaryOS - simple enough UI and lightweight. It's not Chromebook lightweight but I've put it on some 10+ year old clunkers with no issues. Plus it keeps you and your family members out of the Google surveillance dragnet.
