I just sold a ThinkPad T14 laptop with ChromeOS Flex installed to someone in my local area.
As much as I would have liked to get him a laptop with Linux, ChromeOS Flex was the right fit for him as he was already using a Chromebook and wanted the same experience but with faster hardware. His primary use was for work, not personal use.
He was able to login to his Google Account while we looked at it and confirmed that everything that he needed was working.
So I am glad that Chrome OS Flex exists. At this point, I think the limited experience of a Chromebook is a much better fit for a lot of people that Windows 11, which is plagued with performance, update and malware issues.
But kind of sad that both are BigTech.
If you had to choose, would you use Google's ChromeOS Flex or Microsoft's Windows 11 ?
Not a fair question, as we always have the option of Linux.

Segunda vida para tu vieja PC: Google facilita la instalación de ChromeOS Flex
Google ha lanzado una nueva herramienta simplificada para instalar ChromeOS Flex, facilitando que usuarios con computadoras antiguas o Windows sin soporte puedan transformarlas en Chromebooks rápidas y seguras (Fuente Google).
En un esfuerzo por reducir la basura electrónica y ofrecer una alternativa viable a quienes poseen hardware antiguo, Google ha presentado un método de instalación renovado para ChromeOS Flex. Esta versión ligera de su sistema operativo está diseñada específicamente para ejecutarse en computadoras que ya no pueden manejar las exigencias de Windows 11 o que han quedado huérfanas de actualizaciones de seguridad. La nueva herramienta elimina gran parte de la complejidad técnica del proceso, permitiendo crear una unidad de instalación USB directamente desde el navegador de manera más intuitiva, con una guía paso a paso que verifica automáticamente la compatibilidad del hardware antes de proceder.
ChromeOS Flex se presenta como la solución ideal para revitalizar laptops y equipos de escritorio de hace una década. Al centrarse en la computación en la nube y el uso del navegador Chrome, el sistema consume una fracción de los recursos que requieren los sistemas operativos tradicionales. Además, cuenta con las mismas protecciones de seguridad que los Chromebooks comerciales, incluyendo el arranque seguro y la sandboxing de procesos, lo que lo hace especialmente atractivo para entornos educativos, pequeñas empresas o usuarios domésticos que solo necesitan navegar, gestionar correos y utilizar herramientas de productividad básica.
Esta actualización llega en un momento clave, dado el próximo fin del soporte para versiones anteriores de Windows, lo que podría dejar millones de dispositivos vulnerables. Con este nuevo instalador, Google no solo busca expandir su ecosistema, sino también promover la sostenibilidad al extender la vida útil de dispositivos que de otro modo terminarían en un vertedero. Aunque ChromeOS Flex no admite aplicaciones de Android (Play Store) en todos los modelos, su rendimiento fluido en hardware limitado lo convierte en una de las mejores opciones para transformar una máquina «lenta» en una herramienta de trabajo ágil y conectada.

To coincide with the MOU, Anthropic released research on how Australians are using Claude and the results are surprising. And they also released research on the emotions behind how Claude reacts to things and why that may be important to AI safety.

Amodei being in Australia reignited the copyright and AI debate locally, with Anthropic and the content organisations each hosting opposing ‘future forums’ at Parliament House.

Chrome OS Flex is basically just a ramp to Google's infrastructure. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Linux has been offering free upgrades from Windows for decades. Without pushing infrastructure.
Linux is the better choice. It just requires more understanding.
And understanding your computing device is good.

Vinkki: ChromeOS Flex muuttaa minkä tahansa vanhan Windows-tietokoneena Chromebookiksi
Ratkaisu voi olla täydellinen heille, keitä pelottaa Windows 10:n tukiajan päättyminen ja Linuxiin siirtyminen kuulostaa pelottavalta vaihtoehdolta.
ChromeOS Flex sopisi monen iäkkäämmän sukulaisen tietokoneen elinajan jatkajaksi varsin mainiosti.

I have had #chromeosflex installed on my old T540p laptop for around a month now, and it have been a delight. Linux VM enabled and I am happy as a clam.

I decided I should also try #ChromeOSFlex, since the Linux environment that is available should allow me to install #VivaldiBrowser but I cannot get this thing to connect to my WiFi, so that is not an option.

Okay, last chance. I will try to make #ZorinOS work on a 32-bit UEFI.
I should copy-paste the bootloader from #Fedora and redirect the EFI Boot entry to the 32-bit bootloader, which I suspect is the same old shim.efi.
Let's see if my assumptions are correct. Otherwise, I will shove in ChromeOS Flex and call it a day, because is VERY touchscreen friendly and more compatible than #FydeOS.

Für Leute, die #ChromeOSflex mal ausprobieren wollen auf #Proxmox. Hat bei mir auf Anhieb funktioniert.
Danke Kevin. ;-)

I'm trying to load ChromeOS Flex into my old Dell 7310 Chromebook. The USB is a bootable stick loaded with Flex and is all set to go. Now, I need the boot page to reach victory, but I can't access it. I've tried all the remedies available online, but the boot page will not appear, which prevents me from loading Flex from the USB.
Anyone have any ideas? #ChromeOSFlex #Chromebook #
