A lot of Linux distros don’t make money, I don’t think that’s a huge factor. A lack of interest so far is more likely (though I do recall there was a distro that was trying to be a 1 to 1 chromeOS replacement.
I just wanted to point out that us techies take a lot of our knowledge for granted, and it can be easy to lose perspective on what its like for tech illiterates.
Yeah, Linux is easy for me and you but the vast majority of people can’t even factory reset thier phone. I help them as much as I can but I’m not skilled enough to make software. I just don’t have the talent. Should someone make UnChome? Absolutely. Without a profit motive we are going to have to wait for some altruistic programmers to do it.
Well cool. Get with the author and do the work. Make the UnChromeOS
I’m just pointing out WHY it doesn’t exist. No one cares and no one can make money from it.
