I'm the author of the linked post. I did use various Linux distros from the mid 1990s until switching to chromeOS, but I got exasperated with maintenance. Device driver support was suboptimal and system updates would often break something and throw me into the console, forcing me to waste days troubleshooting and fixing whatever broke and restore X. I had enough with Linux maintenance, realized I was living in Chrome anyway, didn't mind Google, and decided to give chromeOS a try. Seven years and four chromeOS devices later, I never had a single system update issue, and maintenance simply disappeared. Along with Linux I also used Windows and MacOS, but liked Linux much more.
