Google has released a free operating system, Chrome OS Flex, that can reuse old Windows PC and Mac as Chromebook.
Chrome OS Flex optimizes Neverware's CloudReady, which Google acquired in December 2020 and can be used on more devices.
CloudReady is developed by Neverware on the basis of open source Chromium OS. Open to individuals free of charge. It runs lighter than Windows and macOS, and even older computers can work comfortably. As an OS for used PC second Life, it is very popular.
However, because the open source version of Chrome OS is based on Chromium OS, there is a lack of functionality, and some PC may cause compatibility problems and instability.
This time, with the modification of Chrome OS's biological parents Google, the new free operating system "Chrome OS Flex" gave birth to a more stable and more functional free operating system.
This "Chrome OS Flex" has already begun an early visit. The installation of the operating system can be deployed through USB or the network. You can also try Live USB without having to install the operating system. The minimum requirements for equipment are as follows:
Please note that the Intel GMA 500 Universe 600 Compact 3600 Universe 3650 installed on very old equipment does not comply with the operating standards of this operating system. It also does not support M1Mac.
With "Chrome OS Flex", you can once again serve the sleepy old PC. In addition, the further popularization of Chrome OS will also play a certain role, and the increase or decrease of market share in the future is also worthy of attention.
