My wife had a Chromebook. A couple years back, she received messages from Google stating she needed a new Chromebook, since Google would no longer support her laptop. (Specs identical to new Chromebooks being sold. Google lied in the past, and she will never go back. Google is evil.

Chromebooks ship with Google Chrome OS, an operating system that uses the Linux kernel and the Google Chrome web-browser with an integrated media-player.[34][35] Enabling developer mode allows the installation of Linux distributions on Chromebooks. Crouton is a script that allows the installation of Linux distributions from Chrome OS, and running both operating systems simultaneously.[36] Some Chromebooks include SeaBIOS, which can be turned on to install and boot Linux distributions directly.[
