Here’s an idea! Don’t trust Google or rely on their products.
Anytime someone is talking about switching to google for some service I show them killed by google
Wait, Angular is dead? Is that why no one uses it anymore? Forgive my ignorance of the JavaScript realm, where everything seems to follow the fad of the day, and good practices are frowned on

Can you install Linux on them?
I use mainly Windows these days because of gaming but Linux is so good for learning how computers work in general.
If I could just blow the os away and chuck Linux on one of these devices I’d buy one in a heartbeat.
I know they support Linux apps these days but it’s not quite the same and I do not want a device that isn’t receiving updates or support.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Thirteen Chromebook models have met their death date since June 1 and won’t receive security updates or new features from Google anymore.
The US Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) pointed this out in a press release Wednesday, sharing screenshots of the models:
The US PIRG’s release highlights eight ChromeOS devices from Asus, Acer, Dell, Lenovo, HP, and Samsung, all easily purchasable on Amazon despite their expirations.
The advocacy group’s latest release highlights how easy it is to buy expired laptops, which can lead to security threats, e-waste, and wasted money.
We have been tracking the specific Chromebook models listed in the June letter that recently expired this summer and were shocked to find them still for sale with no warnings.
Retailers need to make changes to protect customers, since Chromebook support expiration dates can be unclear if they’re not included on listing pages.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
