Oh boy where to even start with this one...
Yeah I mean we already have several of them. Android and Linux do everything ChromeOS does, and so much more. Matter of fact any OS with a browser can do anything Chrome can do.
ChromeOS has forks like FydeOS.
I don't understand why anyone would complain about that. If you don't care for choice then just pick a random one. I mean you have to "choose" ChromeOS too.
They sold billions because they're cheap as shit. They can do the same with the OSes above.
No thank you.
Lots of messaging apps don't work in the browser.
You just said earlier you didn't want a Google account.
Again, I can't understand why you would want to not have that option. If you don't want the "complexity", just don't use it.
Oof. Yeah that is a complaint that I share.
I find GNOME far more intuitive than Windows.
Not sure what "authentication system" they're referring to. FydeOS can be used with a Fyde account, a Google account, both or neither. I think when they take a deeper look it may be what they're looking for.
