"Great for simple and small daily Workarounds"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Chrome OS?

ChromeOS makes simple and routine tasks well-handled and hassle-free. Easy to work with, no distraction maintenance, just simple directed work. The Google ecosystem is more than enough for daily work. Google accounts and device syncing between all of them is major. Using Chrome OS, a smooth personal software program with a specific purpose. Everything from Git, Terminal, and IDE to Browser, Apps, and Packages works well too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chrome OS?

Still, one of some limitations of Chrome OS is that it's still too specialized for the majority of users. Like, for regular users who use Google products only, it is okay, but for power users and especially devs like us, we need a strong system that's not limited by the ecosystem but flexible and independent. In many apps, full desktop functionalities are not possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Chrome OS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Automatic and frequent updates are always supported by Chrome OS. It's mostly useful for people that don't need a powerful desktop environment just for simple browser tasks in daily life and want a simple, minimal setup for it. A compact, focused, and simple OS for regular, lite workflows. It removes overhead that is always there with other heavy and advanced OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
