    I just sold a ThinkPad T14 laptop with ChromeOS Flex installed to someone in my local area.

    As much as I would have liked to get him a laptop with Linux, ChromeOS Flex was the right fit for him as he was already using a Chromebook and wanted the same experience but with faster hardware. His primary use was for work, not personal use.

    He was able to login to his Google Account while we looked at it and confirmed that everything that he needed was working.

    So I am glad that Chrome OS Flex exists. At this point, I think the limited experience of a Chromebook is a much better fit for a lot of people that Windows 11, which is plagued with performance, update and malware issues.

    But kind of sad that both are BigTech.

    If you had to choose, would you use Google's ChromeOS Flex or Microsoft's Windows 11 ?

    Not a fair question, as we always have the option of Linux.
