Google is the elephant in the room
This article conveniently left out the impact, of Google.
ChromeOS is the most successful distro atm.
They did what some of the most well known distros could not accomplish.
Easier to use than Windows, more secure.
Faster, safer.
365 was a response to Google Docs (Drive).
Like most things, MS was late to the internet party. Then the cloud.
Too busy trying to protect their existing platform.
And look what happened. Lost the mobile paradigm shift.
I have used Linux since Mandrake, over 3 decades.
And before I knew it, I found I was using my Chromebook more than my Mint desktop.
It just works.
I have never EVER once had to download OR install a device driver in ChromeOS in the 12y I have been on it. Imagine that.
I even have it running for friends and family on iMacs, vintage Dell, HP, Compaq, Acer, Gateway, Thinkpads with ChromeOS Flex.
No drivers needed. How did they accomplish that?
And the slow file copy in linux, that has NEVER been addressed. Don't get me started.
I do most of my file transfers with ChromeOS or Wintel TeraCopy.
Let the downvoting begin. lol.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
