  • I own old Chromebook.

    Chromebook software updates are not forever.

    It is my understanding that some Chromebooks might be locked in such a way that installation of Linux might NOT be an option or the might be a high chance of bricking the device.

    At least that was the case with my Chromebook.

    So, once OS updates are unavailable, the machine might become a weak link from security standpoint or stop running some software.

    Chromebook is still a great option, but be careful with very old ones.

    Dedicated gaming machine or dual boot is a way to go.

    I played steam on Arch and one update of OS and game stops working.

    Despite claims, Windows gets better outcomes. I played a lot of World of Tanks Blitz and the same hardware on Linux was significantly lower graphics quality and FPS compared to Windows.
