    People who use Chromebooks are also really slow and aren’t technically savvy at all.

    Nonsense. I think your opinion is clouded by your limited experience with them.

    ChromeOS supports a full Debian Linux virtual machine/container environment. That’s not a feature aimed at non-tech-savvy users. It’s used by software developers (especially web and Android devs), linux sysadmins, and students of all levels.

    In fact I might even argue the opposite: a more technically-savvy user is more likely to find a use case for them.

    Personally, I’m currently using mine for R&D in memory management and cross-platform compiler technology, with a bit of hobby game development on the side. I’ve even installed and helped debug Lemmy on my chromebook! It’s a fab ultra-portable, bullet proof dev machine with a battery life that no full laptop can match.

    But then I do apparently have an IQ of zero, so maybe you’re right after all…
