Windows vs mac vs linux vs chrome os7/20/2023 It reminds me of WINDEZ, anyone else remember that? It was a pre-Linux alt-os (it might have been unix bassed but I honestly have no idea) from the pentium 2-3 era that turned anything as old as a 486 into a dedicated web browser so long as it had a modem in it, and you could even get it running on a 386 but now well. One question I have is will it work with android apps, using android on my chromebook (the one I’m writing this on actually) became so much more of a useful media consumption device when those opened up, console emulators, torrents, VLC, lots of others, totally revived the os in my opinion anyways.

The interface is similar to Chrome OS’s Gentoo heritage using the Aura Shell, but taking advantage of Google’s purchase of NeverWare. The hardware requirements are light, you need is a computer which can boot from USB and has a 64bit x86 processor, as well as 4GB of RAM and 16GB of local storage sorry no ARM support at this time. Instead Chrome OS Flex is a watered down Linux OS designed for the non-technically inclined that just want a computer that works. This is not an OS for the technically inclined, such as those reading this, for a Linux distro will be more powerful and adroit at running the various emulators and applications we use. 14th, 2025 when Windows 10 hits it’s EOL at least that’s the date as of now. Chrome OS Flex Brings Life To Old Hardwareįor systems lacking TPM 2.0 and those simply not interested in moving to Windows 11, the new Chrome OS Flex offers an alternative for now, and perhaps past Oct.
