Chrome OS doesn't give me the benefits that drive me to sometimes use the Linux desktop, so it doesn't really matter whether it addresses any of the (many, serious) problems that keep me from using Linux for everything.
Looks like its hardware support is limited to the point of being nearly useless (under "check what's not supported yet"). Besides, then you've still got spyware under your Linux, so at that point just run Win10.
But if one isn’t going to go the supported route, why don’t get a real laptop and install a real distro on it?
Yeah, but I can do that without buying a laptop from Google.
