if one is already a geek it is not needed. The only reason myself being a geek moved to chromeos

- no need to worry if upgrading some Xorg will kill Xserver. Yes, it does happen if one has autoupdates

- Will my zoom/camera/mic work after I make pulseaudio->pipewire-><whatever latest>? No idea but chromeos - just works

- There are software engineers that have no installation/hardware/sysadmin experience (or they dont want to learn).

- Just close and open device. Chromeos is instant. (yes, one can fiddle with pm-utils to get modules (un)loaded - no life is too short to fix these.

- Many programs like netflix need some form of terrible DRM and dont work with linux. Some people still need to live with DRM.

I thought we were discussing about ChromeOS for developers after all.

> ChromeOS got good and is wildly underrated for software development.

There are laptops sold with Linux support in mind, those Asus netbooks were such laptops.

As for DRM, just install Chrome, the Web nowadays is ChromeOS anyway.
