  • I don’t disagree with your explanation of a thin client. I do however think you are missing the point about how a Chromebook works. Not that different of a concept really. With a Chromebook how does an average user edit a paper, a presentation, a spreadsheet? It’s all using google cloud services. Connecting to their servers to edit files an save them. Running a slim version of Linux they made essentially to get you on the web to use their services. Not too dissimilar to an arm version of windows to connect you to MS cloud services.

    Like I said, not for me but then again I switched from Windows to Linux due to the recall “feature” and have run various Linux servers for decades now. XBMS with Samba server was the coolest thing ever at the time.
