Chrome OS Flex is a NIGHTMARE

hello everybody this is teca in this hello everybody this is teca in this video what we are going to be doing is video what we are going to be doing is video what we are going to be doing is talking about chrome os flex uh simply talking about chrome os flex uh simply talking about chrome os flex uh simply put this video did not go how i would put this video did not go how i would put this video did not go how i would have liked it to i've installed chrome have liked it to i've installed chrome have liked it to i've installed chrome os flex on quite a few different laptops os flex on quite a few different laptops os flex on quite a few different laptops a desktop and just overall there's a desktop and just overall there's a desktop and just overall there's always been something to go wrong and always been something to go wrong and always been something to go wrong and that's what we're going to be talking that's what we're going to be talking that's what we're going to be talking about in this video but first we must about in this video but first we must about in this video but first we must thank the sponsor of today's video thank the sponsor of today's video thank the sponsor of today's video lenode as you can see here i'm using lenode as you can see here i'm using lenode as you can see here i'm using lenove to host techcut.tv our main lenove to host techcut.tv our main lenove to host techcut.tv our main website and it has been running very website and it has been running very website and it has been running very well for me if i go up here to create well for me if i go up here to create well for me if i go up here to create and create a new node you can see how and create a new node you can see how and create a new node you can see how easy it is to spin up your own virtual easy it is to spin up your own virtual easy it is to spin up your own virtual private server you have a ton of linux private server you have a ton of linux private server you have a ton of linux distributions to choose from distributions to choose from distributions to choose from and as far as region goes there is and as far as region goes there is and as far as region goes there is probably a server that is moderately probably a server that is moderately probably a server that is moderately close to you if we go down here to close to you if we go down here to close to you if we go down here to shared cpu you can see that it starts as shared cpu you can see that it starts as shared cpu you can see that it starts as little as five dollars a month which little as five dollars a month which little as five dollars a month which really ain't too bad at all if you go up really ain't too bad at all if you go up really ain't too bad at all if you go up here to marketplace you can easily set here to marketplace you can easily set here to marketplace you can easily set up all of these services with automated up all of these services with automated up all of these services with automated scripts that get everything set up for scripts that get everything set up for scripts that get everything set up for you including nexcloud wordpress you including nexcloud wordpress you including nexcloud wordpress minecraft cs go discourse and a whole minecraft cs go discourse and a whole minecraft cs go discourse and a whole lot more so if you're interested in this lot more so if you're interested in this lot more so if you're interested in this make sure you check out the link down make sure you check out the link down make sure you check out the link down below for a 100 below for a 100 below for a 100 60 day credit essentially chrome os flex 60 day credit essentially chrome os flex 60 day credit essentially chrome os flex is just a version of chrome os that is just a version of chrome os that is just a version of chrome os that gives you the ability to install it on gives you the ability to install it on gives you the ability to install it on other hardware so then that way you are other hardware so then that way you are other hardware so then that way you are not limited to getting a chromebook that not limited to getting a chromebook that not limited to getting a chromebook that will probably have an intel celeron will probably have an intel celeron will probably have an intel celeron processor four gigabytes of ram and processor four gigabytes of ram and processor four gigabytes of ram and storage as low as 16 gigabytes or even

storage as low as 16 gigabytes or even storage as low as 16 gigabytes or even worse buy a high powered machine with worse buy a high powered machine with worse buy a high powered machine with chrome os installed on it in short chrome os installed on it in short chrome os installed on it in short google basically just decided that most google basically just decided that most google basically just decided that most people seem to sign on to their computer people seem to sign on to their computer people seem to sign on to their computer open up a web browser and stay in that open up a web browser and stay in that open up a web browser and stay in that environment anyways so why not just make environment anyways so why not just make environment anyways so why not just make it the entire operating system that is it the entire operating system that is it the entire operating system that is basically chrome os one thing that basically chrome os one thing that basically chrome os one thing that you'll get while getting a chromebook as you'll get while getting a chromebook as you'll get while getting a chromebook as compared to this flex version is android compared to this flex version is android compared to this flex version is android app support and that alone gone from app support and that alone gone from app support and that alone gone from this really limits us with our choices this really limits us with our choices this really limits us with our choices of what we could do with the system but of what we could do with the system but of what we could do with the system but being that one of the primary points of being that one of the primary points of being that one of the primary points of chrome os is to run on weaker hardware chrome os is to run on weaker hardware chrome os is to run on weaker hardware in theory really nice because you can in theory really nice because you can in theory really nice because you can use it to revive old hardware or at use it to revive old hardware or at use it to revive old hardware or at least that's the long-term goal because least that's the long-term goal because least that's the long-term goal because as of now the device compatibility list as of now the device compatibility list as of now the device compatibility list is rather thin now the installation is rather thin now the installation is rather thin now the installation process for this is kind of weird you process for this is kind of weird you process for this is kind of weird you can't really go and grab just your can't really go and grab just your can't really go and grab just your normal iso image what you have to do is normal iso image what you have to do is normal iso image what you have to do is plug in a usb to your computer and plug in a usb to your computer and plug in a usb to your computer and actually use a chromebook recovery tool actually use a chromebook recovery tool actually use a chromebook recovery tool chrome extension to go ahead and flash chrome extension to go ahead and flash chrome extension to go ahead and flash the usb with chrome os flex the process the usb with chrome os flex the process the usb with chrome os flex the process is pretty simple you just go to your is pretty simple you just go to your is pretty simple you just go to your devices instead of actually picking a devices instead of actually picking a devices instead of actually picking a device there is a chrome os flex option device there is a chrome os flex option device there is a chrome os flex option and then you begin the process and you and then you begin the process and you and then you begin the process and you boot into it like you would any other boot into it like you would any other boot into it like you would any other installation a main difference is this installation a main difference is this installation a main difference is this hardly gives you any installation hardly gives you any installation hardly gives you any installation options you can't select what hard drive options you can't select what hard drive options you can't select what hard drive you want it to be on if you want a dual you want it to be on if you want a dual you want it to be on if you want a dual boot you have to install this first and boot you have to install this first and boot you have to install this first and then whatever else after it's literally then whatever else after it's literally then whatever else after it's literally a few clicks and then it's installing a few clicks and then it's installing a few clicks and then it's installing and that is it my first attempt at this and that is it my first attempt at this and that is it my first attempt at this was installing it on a really old

was installing it on a really old was installing it on a really old absolutely piece of garbage laptop and absolutely piece of garbage laptop and absolutely piece of garbage laptop and it just would not boot at all stayed on it just would not boot at all stayed on it just would not boot at all stayed on the chrome os splash screen and that is the chrome os splash screen and that is the chrome os splash screen and that is about it and from there i decided to try about it and from there i decided to try about it and from there i decided to try out a really high powered gaming laptop out a really high powered gaming laptop out a really high powered gaming laptop it would have made for a super cool it would have made for a super cool it would have made for a super cool video title and with this one it video title and with this one it video title and with this one it wouldn't recognize my ssd at all which wouldn't recognize my ssd at all which wouldn't recognize my ssd at all which isn't a surprise to me because even on isn't a surprise to me because even on isn't a surprise to me because even on windows i do have to load in special windows i do have to load in special windows i do have to load in special drivers but luckily i was able to boot drivers but luckily i was able to boot drivers but luckily i was able to boot into a live environment similar to what into a live environment similar to what into a live environment similar to what you get on a lot of linux distributions you get on a lot of linux distributions you get on a lot of linux distributions where i could actually go and try it out where i could actually go and try it out where i could actually go and try it out and after i signed into my google and after i signed into my google and after i signed into my google account and booted it up it was actually account and booted it up it was actually account and booted it up it was actually a really nice experience using it chrome a really nice experience using it chrome a really nice experience using it chrome os on a 2k display looks really good os on a 2k display looks really good os on a 2k display looks really good everything was super snappy the general everything was super snappy the general everything was super snappy the general use of it was completely fine but i did use of it was completely fine but i did use of it was completely fine but i did have to plug it into internet because have to plug it into internet because have to plug it into internet because the wi-fi drivers simply were not the wi-fi drivers simply were not the wi-fi drivers simply were not working and of course being that this working and of course being that this working and of course being that this isn't a live environment i couldn't isn't a live environment i couldn't isn't a live environment i couldn't really do anything like try to install really do anything like try to install really do anything like try to install the linux virtualization within the the linux virtualization within the the linux virtualization within the terminal and then i went ahead and tried terminal and then i went ahead and tried terminal and then i went ahead and tried it out on this it out on this it out on this thinkpad t450 right here this is thinkpad t450 right here this is thinkpad t450 right here this is honestly a phenomenal machine especially honestly a phenomenal machine especially honestly a phenomenal machine especially if you're somebody who's in the market if you're somebody who's in the market if you're somebody who's in the market for like a budget laptop you could get for like a budget laptop you could get for like a budget laptop you could get one of these with an intel i5 good one of these with an intel i5 good one of these with an intel i5 good amount of ram for like two three hundred amount of ram for like two three hundred amount of ram for like two three hundred dollars not a bad deal and as you can dollars not a bad deal and as you can dollars not a bad deal and as you can see here this is currently running see here this is currently running see here this is currently running chrome ios flex now when it comes to the chrome ios flex now when it comes to the chrome ios flex now when it comes to the base functionality of what chrome os is base functionality of what chrome os is base functionality of what chrome os is supposed to be which is using web apps supposed to be which is using web apps supposed to be which is using web apps and chrome os itself the device performs and chrome os itself the device performs and chrome os itself the device performs very well applications open up no

very well applications open up no very well applications open up no problem problem problem it does have kind of high resource it does have kind of high resource it does have kind of high resource consumption compared to what i'm used to consumption compared to what i'm used to consumption compared to what i'm used to when it comes to the ram but i didn't when it comes to the ram but i didn't when it comes to the ram but i didn't really notice that actually playing really notice that actually playing really notice that actually playing around with the machine it's probably around with the machine it's probably around with the machine it's probably one of those things where unused ram is one of those things where unused ram is one of those things where unused ram is wasted ram and chrome itself is known to wasted ram and chrome itself is known to wasted ram and chrome itself is known to be a ram hog anyway but again i didn't be a ram hog anyway but again i didn't be a ram hog anyway but again i didn't have any major performance or stuttering have any major performance or stuttering have any major performance or stuttering or lagging or anything like that or lagging or anything like that or lagging or anything like that actually playing around in the system i actually playing around in the system i actually playing around in the system i do actually like how intuitive it is and do actually like how intuitive it is and do actually like how intuitive it is and for just regular web browser type things for just regular web browser type things for just regular web browser type things it works perfectly fine when it comes to it works perfectly fine when it comes to it works perfectly fine when it comes to the basic usage on this machine wi-fi the basic usage on this machine wi-fi the basic usage on this machine wi-fi actually worked which was nice granted actually worked which was nice granted actually worked which was nice granted if i'm to go to my university for if i'm to go to my university for if i'm to go to my university for example and try to connect to their example and try to connect to their example and try to connect to their wi-fi which requires some extra wi-fi which requires some extra wi-fi which requires some extra configuration and a login splash screen configuration and a login splash screen configuration and a login splash screen it's kind of a hit or miss it has it's kind of a hit or miss it has it's kind of a hit or miss it has problems when it shouldn't and sometimes problems when it shouldn't and sometimes problems when it shouldn't and sometimes it works it's really weird now as far as it works it's really weird now as far as it works it's really weird now as far as the linux experience on this bad boy the linux experience on this bad boy the linux experience on this bad boy which for me is something that i would which for me is something that i would which for me is something that i would need because there's one or two linux need because there's one or two linux need because there's one or two linux applications that i would need to applications that i would need to applications that i would need to actually be able to use a laptop like actually be able to use a laptop like actually be able to use a laptop like this on a daily basis when i fired up this on a daily basis when i fired up this on a daily basis when i fired up the terminal to go ahead and set up the terminal to go ahead and set up the terminal to go ahead and set up links for the first time i was expecting links for the first time i was expecting links for the first time i was expecting it to fail because i tried this out a it to fail because i tried this out a it to fail because i tried this out a few months ago when this first release few months ago when this first release few months ago when this first release and it just wouldn't work for nothing and it just wouldn't work for nothing and it just wouldn't work for nothing but this time it did linux actually but this time it did linux actually but this time it did linux actually installed i was able to like load up age installed i was able to like load up age installed i was able to like load up age top top top do basic apt type things and then on do basic apt type things and then on do basic apt type things and then on this device specifically i went and this device specifically i went and this device specifically i went and installed performed very well installed performed very well installed performed very well quick load times and things like that quick load times and things like that quick load times and things like that the only issue i had with that was the

the only issue i had with that was the the only issue i had with that was the menus for example i opened up a drop menus for example i opened up a drop menus for example i opened up a drop down menu and closed the application down menu and closed the application down menu and closed the application without closing the drop down menu it without closing the drop down menu it without closing the drop down menu it would like just would like just would like just stay open it's probably some weird issue stay open it's probably some weird issue stay open it's probably some weird issue with the virtualization but it was kind with the virtualization but it was kind with the virtualization but it was kind of annoying if you like clicked on the of annoying if you like clicked on the of annoying if you like clicked on the setting it would go away but that was setting it would go away but that was setting it would go away but that was just one thing uh installing caden live just one thing uh installing caden live just one thing uh installing caden live through the app package manager was an through the app package manager was an through the app package manager was an absolute uh nightmare it just doesn't absolute uh nightmare it just doesn't absolute uh nightmare it just doesn't work it's it just flickers all over the work it's it just flickers all over the work it's it just flickers all over the place you can't load media in there place you can't load media in there place you can't load media in there properly it just did not work and i was properly it just did not work and i was properly it just did not work and i was able to get caden live to work a lot able to get caden live to work a lot able to get caden live to work a lot better on the desktop we're going to be better on the desktop we're going to be better on the desktop we're going to be jumping into in just like actually jumping into in just like actually jumping into in just like actually this little mini pc right here but even this little mini pc right here but even this little mini pc right here but even if i was to get caden live working on if i was to get caden live working on if i was to get caden live working on this machine it's just not powerful this machine it's just not powerful this machine it's just not powerful enough for the workload that i want to enough for the workload that i want to enough for the workload that i want to give it for video editing but again for give it for video editing but again for give it for video editing but again for just chrome os this did meet its goal of just chrome os this did meet its goal of just chrome os this did meet its goal of i don't really want to say bringing this i don't really want to say bringing this i don't really want to say bringing this back to life because it was never dead back to life because it was never dead back to life because it was never dead but it works it works granted it would but it works it works granted it would but it works it works granted it would be better just to throw a linux distro be better just to throw a linux distro be better just to throw a linux distro on it and that's from there we get into on it and that's from there we get into on it and that's from there we get into the mini the mini the mini pc this little gaming pc i have a video pc this little gaming pc i have a video pc this little gaming pc i have a video coming out on this pretty soon so do coming out on this pretty soon so do coming out on this pretty soon so do make sure you subscribe and you ring make sure you subscribe and you ring make sure you subscribe and you ring that bell uh it worked pretty good first that bell uh it worked pretty good first that bell uh it worked pretty good first of all the wi-fi in it didn't work which of all the wi-fi in it didn't work which of all the wi-fi in it didn't work which which is a huge issue to me um it's a which is a huge issue to me um it's a which is a huge issue to me um it's a desktop so it's not generally a big deal desktop so it's not generally a big deal desktop so it's not generally a big deal but it seems like they're just a lot of but it seems like they're just a lot of but it seems like they're just a lot of these devices the wi-fi just did not these devices the wi-fi just did not these devices the wi-fi just did not work and i'm pretty sure chrome os uses work and i'm pretty sure chrome os uses work and i'm pretty sure chrome os uses a linux base and for wi-fi cards like

a linux base and for wi-fi cards like a linux base and for wi-fi cards like this that i know have good linux drivers this that i know have good linux drivers this that i know have good linux drivers it's just kind of weird that they're not it's just kind of weird that they're not it's just kind of weird that they're not included but actually firing up the included but actually firing up the included but actually firing up the machine and basic usage just like with machine and basic usage just like with machine and basic usage just like with this thinkpad laptop were completely this thinkpad laptop were completely this thinkpad laptop were completely fine but i did run into my first little fine but i did run into my first little fine but i did run into my first little issue when i tried to do a screen issue when i tried to do a screen issue when i tried to do a screen recording because i wanted to try to recording because i wanted to try to recording because i wanted to try to produce this section of the video produce this section of the video produce this section of the video directly off of this which did not work directly off of this which did not work directly off of this which did not work so what i did was ran some geekbench so what i did was ran some geekbench so what i did was ran some geekbench tests just to kind of compare the linux tests just to kind of compare the linux tests just to kind of compare the linux virtualization environment to windows virtualization environment to windows virtualization environment to windows and linux just installed bare metal on and linux just installed bare metal on and linux just installed bare metal on this machine and i'm just going to play this machine and i'm just going to play this machine and i'm just going to play you what i recorded i do know you'll see you what i recorded i do know you'll see you what i recorded i do know you'll see the major issues with this recording all the major issues with this recording all the major issues with this recording all right we are on this system and as you right we are on this system and as you right we are on this system and as you can see here make myself a a little bit can see here make myself a a little bit can see here make myself a a little bit bigger i'm recording completely on this bigger i'm recording completely on this bigger i'm recording completely on this device my microphone look directly to it device my microphone look directly to it device my microphone look directly to it and i'm using the built-in screen and i'm using the built-in screen and i'm using the built-in screen recording software and this is just the recording software and this is just the recording software and this is just the uh the camera utility that i'm going to uh the camera utility that i'm going to uh the camera utility that i'm going to use as my little face window up in the use as my little face window up in the use as my little face window up in the top corner like i said the main thing top corner like i said the main thing top corner like i said the main thing i've done so far is uh set up the linux i've done so far is uh set up the linux i've done so far is uh set up the linux environment the only thing i've environment the only thing i've environment the only thing i've installed is that h top just so i could installed is that h top just so i could installed is that h top just so i could kind of monitor what's going on here and kind of monitor what's going on here and kind of monitor what's going on here and let's do a w get let's do a w get let's do a w get and paste that on in oh i can tell this and paste that on in oh i can tell this and paste that on in oh i can tell this is pretty close to my other source i'm is pretty close to my other source i'm is pretty close to my other source i'm going to log in real fast there we go going to log in real fast there we go going to log in real fast there we go all right and there's a definitely a all right and there's a definitely a all right and there's a definitely a performance hit but not significant you performance hit but not significant you performance hit but not significant you can see here these last three scores are can see here these last three scores are can see here these last three scores are all from this same mini pc just regular all from this same mini pc just regular all from this same mini pc just regular linux i think this was ubuntu does linux i think this was ubuntu does linux i think this was ubuntu does extremely well on this hardware

extremely well on this hardware extremely well on this hardware and there is a slight performance of and there is a slight performance of and there is a slight performance of this chrome os virtualization compared this chrome os virtualization compared this chrome os virtualization compared to windows but i mean it's it's not too to windows but i mean it's it's not too to windows but i mean it's it's not too bad so the geekbench scores were kind of bad so the geekbench scores were kind of bad so the geekbench scores were kind of cool it's nice to see that it's not a cool it's nice to see that it's not a cool it's nice to see that it's not a huge huge performance loss but as you huge huge performance loss but as you huge huge performance loss but as you could probably hear the audio was could probably hear the audio was could probably hear the audio was absolute utter garbage and i was using absolute utter garbage and i was using absolute utter garbage and i was using the same mic i'm using now with a little the same mic i'm using now with a little the same mic i'm using now with a little audio interface just plugged into the audio interface just plugged into the audio interface just plugged into the usb usb usb and i did record a lot more but it just and i did record a lot more but it just and i did record a lot more but it just cut out completely after a while so just cut out completely after a while so just cut out completely after a while so just that alone not being able to use a that alone not being able to use a that alone not being able to use a microphone reliably with the device is microphone reliably with the device is microphone reliably with the device is just a huge that's like a line that i just a huge that's like a line that i just a huge that's like a line that i can't really go past especially with can't really go past especially with can't really go past especially with what i do on this channel and with my what i do on this channel and with my what i do on this channel and with my work in general and if that alone would work in general and if that alone would work in general and if that alone would have worked i would have like done a have worked i would have like done a have worked i would have like done a thing where i tried to force myself to thing where i tried to force myself to thing where i tried to force myself to use this for a month to do a dedicated use this for a month to do a dedicated use this for a month to do a dedicated review but no but with that i did have review but no but with that i did have review but no but with that i did have some additional success with the linux some additional success with the linux some additional success with the linux applications did have the same applications did have the same applications did have the same issue with the menu drop down but it issue with the menu drop down but it issue with the menu drop down but it functioned completely fine functioned completely fine functioned completely fine after much tinkering and experimentation after much tinkering and experimentation after much tinkering and experimentation i figured out flat packs work slightly i figured out flat packs work slightly i figured out flat packs work slightly better than the uh repository packages better than the uh repository packages better than the uh repository packages and app images on chrome os work very and app images on chrome os work very and app images on chrome os work very very well the app image of caden live very well the app image of caden live very well the app image of caden live actually worked good enough to the point actually worked good enough to the point actually worked good enough to the point where i was able to drop in footage where i was able to drop in footage where i was able to drop in footage scrub through and make some initial cuts scrub through and make some initial cuts scrub through and make some initial cuts the little footage with the crappy audio the little footage with the crappy audio the little footage with the crappy audio i just played was actually edited on i just played was actually edited on i just played was actually edited on this machine in chrome os and that's this machine in chrome os and that's this machine in chrome os and that's when i discovered that the audio was bad

when i discovered that the audio was bad when i discovered that the audio was bad and cut out most for most of the footage and cut out most for most of the footage and cut out most for most of the footage now gaming this is technically a little now gaming this is technically a little now gaming this is technically a little gaming machine gaming machine gaming machine and chrome os flex is a no fun companion and chrome os flex is a no fun companion and chrome os flex is a no fun companion to the experience first i was a little to the experience first i was a little to the experience first i was a little optimistic and tried to install steam optimistic and tried to install steam optimistic and tried to install steam through a flat pack that yeah i mean through a flat pack that yeah i mean through a flat pack that yeah i mean steam installed allowed me to install a steam installed allowed me to install a steam installed allowed me to install a game but that just did not work at all game but that just did not work at all game but that just did not work at all when i tried to open up a game like when i tried to open up a game like when i tried to open up a game like split gate which i know runs very well split gate which i know runs very well split gate which i know runs very well on this machine the little fps thing was on this machine the little fps thing was on this machine the little fps thing was giving me one frame per second and i did giving me one frame per second and i did giving me one frame per second and i did have the little screen recording the have the little screen recording the have the little screen recording the chrome os screen recorder running chrome os screen recorder running chrome os screen recorder running and this is what i got right here so um and this is what i got right here so um and this is what i got right here so um it looks like crap here and that's it looks like crap here and that's it looks like crap here and that's basically the same experience i got basically the same experience i got basically the same experience i got trying to get trying to get trying to get characters to move or anything like that characters to move or anything like that characters to move or anything like that if you know what the issue is let me if you know what the issue is let me if you know what the issue is let me know i couldn't figure it out so i'm know i couldn't figure it out so i'm know i couldn't figure it out so i'm thinking that it might have been the thinking that it might have been the thinking that it might have been the flat pack i went ahead and re-uh removed flat pack i went ahead and re-uh removed flat pack i went ahead and re-uh removed it and installed the 32-bit libraries it and installed the 32-bit libraries it and installed the 32-bit libraries everything steam needs to run on a everything steam needs to run on a everything steam needs to run on a chromebook technically installed steam chromebook technically installed steam chromebook technically installed steam using the debian package directly from using the debian package directly from using the debian package directly from their website it opened up it did allow their website it opened up it did allow their website it opened up it did allow me to get a little bit further into the me to get a little bit further into the me to get a little bit further into the game but it really wasn't wasn't a game but it really wasn't wasn't a game but it really wasn't wasn't a success at all and it was the same success at all and it was the same success at all and it was the same experience with other games i tried a cs experience with other games i tried a cs experience with other games i tried a cs go which is a game that is a good go which is a game that is a good go which is a game that is a good benchmark because it runs on just about benchmark because it runs on just about benchmark because it runs on just about everything and it it wouldn't load at everything and it it wouldn't load at everything and it it wouldn't load at all so that ruled out that use case just all so that ruled out that use case just all so that ruled out that use case just overall right now if you want to do overall right now if you want to do overall right now if you want to do anything beyond web browsing and web anything beyond web browsing and web anything beyond web browsing and web apps chrome os flex is a

apps chrome os flex is a apps chrome os flex is a bad option if your hardware is just bad option if your hardware is just bad option if your hardware is just garbage there are better linux garbage there are better linux garbage there are better linux alternatives in my opinion that you alternatives in my opinion that you alternatives in my opinion that you could just install a chrome web browser could just install a chrome web browser could just install a chrome web browser on and have a decent time and if you on and have a decent time and if you on and have a decent time and if you have moderately decent hardware in my have moderately decent hardware in my have moderately decent hardware in my opinion it's just kind of a waste of opinion it's just kind of a waste of opinion it's just kind of a waste of time and even on their device time and even on their device time and even on their device compatibility page you go through that compatibility page you go through that compatibility page you go through that and search up some of those laptop and search up some of those laptop and search up some of those laptop models and a lot of them are chrome os models and a lot of them are chrome os models and a lot of them are chrome os laptops anyways now again i mentioned laptops anyways now again i mentioned laptops anyways now again i mentioned earlier this is a early stage of chrome earlier this is a early stage of chrome earlier this is a early stage of chrome os flex and just even my short term os flex and just even my short term os flex and just even my short term experience messing with this laptop a experience messing with this laptop a experience messing with this laptop a couple months ago versus a day there are couple months ago versus a day there are couple months ago versus a day there are some things that are working that were some things that are working that were some things that are working that were not working so they are working to not working so they are working to not working so they are working to develop it and hopefully in the future develop it and hopefully in the future develop it and hopefully in the future if some of those things work that i if some of those things work that i if some of those things work that i mentioned if i could get a couple linux mentioned if i could get a couple linux mentioned if i could get a couple linux apps to work perfectly and have a smooth apps to work perfectly and have a smooth apps to work perfectly and have a smooth gaming experience i mean it might be a gaming experience i mean it might be a gaming experience i mean it might be a feasible option for a lot of people out feasible option for a lot of people out feasible option for a lot of people out there especially if you're already there especially if you're already there especially if you're already intertwined in google's ecosystem and intertwined in google's ecosystem and intertwined in google's ecosystem and you use like google docs gmail and all you use like google docs gmail and all you use like google docs gmail and all that so with that i do hope you enjoyed that so with that i do hope you enjoyed that so with that i do hope you enjoyed this video if chrome os flex develops this video if chrome os flex develops this video if chrome os flex develops the point where it is a very stable and the point where it is a very stable and the point where it is a very stable and uh reliable operating system is it uh reliable operating system is it uh reliable operating system is it something that you might consider going something that you might consider going something that you might consider going for with all that as always all the for with all that as always all the for with all that as always all the resources and websites anything i resources and websites anything i resources and websites anything i mentioned will be linked down below so mentioned will be linked down below so mentioned will be linked down below so you could go ahead and give this a spin you could go ahead and give this a spin you could go ahead and give this a spin for yourself if you're interested in for yourself if you're interested in for yourself if you're interested in trying it out if you do have a really trying it out if you do have a really trying it out if you do have a really good success please let us know down good success please let us know down good success please let us know down below additionally what hardware you're below additionally what hardware you're below additionally what hardware you're using as that will just be kind of using as that will just be kind of using as that will just be kind of interesting so with all that i do hope interesting so with all that i do hope interesting so with all that i do hope you have an absolutely beautiful day you have an absolutely beautiful day you have an absolutely beautiful day and good bye
