To avoid the android type mess Chromeos is and was always in the iron grip of Google. That is the way to keep things secure. And I am glad it is so. Once you expose important APIs to the main google account - there will be tons of crap ChromeAPPS (not android but the chrome apps) that will be difficult to supervise (i.e) repeat of playstore.

Though painful and slow the aim is to move everything non-google to PlayStore. That way all crap is isolated into android.

For the commandline or linux person, the VM is always there.

I do in fact have that acer swift N6000 bought for €200 - it is perfect for all my tasks (usually CI/CD, ssh) except may be Zoom. It does not allow changing background owing to paltry CPU/GPU. My boss therefore gave me €1000 to get a better device and I cannot find anything silent.

I perhaps think MS may sue this site as they are rebundling and making MS lost money.

I finally found someone that also like 17 inch. Nice mate. Cheers.(I got myself a acer aspire 317 - just Pentium Silver N6000, 8 GB + 512GB SSD. Everything works in linux.

I still cant believe how people with 6,7 digit salaries get convinced that more money is better than some amount of society responsibility. Dont they think that in 10 or 20 years down the line, many people (including them) will feel the pain of their actions.
