  • I think I generally agree with all that. One good side effect is I think this will be the push that gets Linux a bit more mainstream*. It’s pretty easy to sideload Linux onto most Chromebooks, so I think a good chunk of kids that like tinkering with stuff are going to try it out, more so than the past. ChromeOS is a lot more restrictive than windows, so there’s a bigger incentive to get around it.

    • emphasis on a bit. Frankly I don’t think I see a world where Linux has a proper foothold in the mainstream unfortunately.

  • As much as I don’t want to give LTT credit, I think Linus has a point with Chromebooks. Google is playing the long game with them. Students almost exclusively use them these days, and anecdotally, most of them are getting chromebooks and the like for college now that they’re getting to that age. That’s at least been the case for almost every family member I’ve had that’s started college in the last 5 years.

    It’s only going to continue as the average Chromebook legitimately is becoming more powerful, and Steam compatibility is improving. You’re going to see a whole lot of people who see no need for a PC/mac.
