I don't expect to buy another Chromebook after I found out mine had planned obsolescence. After a certain date it would no longer update. I didn't realize this would happen when I bought it so it came as a surprise. Still a perfectly fine machine otherwise I just have to make time to figure out how to install some Linux distro.

You could try ChromeOS Flex https://support.google.com/chromeosflex/answer/11552529 That's from a startup Google bought earlier.

Yes, always check when the device was released before buying a Chromebook. They get 10 years of updates after release, 8 years for models released before 2021.
