A serious question, what do people do with Chromebooks? Especially people who use their own money to get one, instead of getting one free from school.
A decent Chromebook seems to be around 1000€, with prices going up to 2000€. You can get an _actual_ laptop with that. Why get a glorified hardware browser?

- salawat 3y ago...Define bloat. Because if you say thAt a Beyond Linux From Scratch built system with a package manager integrated is bloated, I'd like to draw your attention to the fact there is a certain minimum footprint symbol table wise to provide a complete interface to the hardware for the user. Which can also be had literally ad-free, no web telemetry, no one else's encryption keys involved. Anything using a cloud suite like Google or Azure, I assure you, is fundamentally not unbloated.
