- thebitstick 4y agoFor the same reasons people buy iPads and use them as laptops. I get it, but good luck taking away my Mac from my cold dead hands.
- modeless 4y agoWin11 and macOS and desktop Linux all suck in various ways. ChromeOS actually has far better security, boots faster, has less obtrusive automatic updates, supports Android apps, runs Steam (in beta), and has real Linux that you can use underneath instead of PowerShell or Cygwin or WSL or Apple's weird environment with no native package manager and a set of outdated utilities and a git binary that requires accepting the XCode license agreement again every time there's an update... Seems like half of HN readers think Google is the literal devil, but for the other half, why not ChromeOS?
