Talk:ChromeOS

Neutrality of Security Section
The last sentence in the Security section does a fairly heavy lift implying comparative security of operating systems. Specifically, it states the following:

ChromeOS - 9 years - 55 vulnerabilities

Windows 10 - 5 years - 1100 vulnerabilities

Mac OS X - 20 years - 2200 vulnerabilities

Besides the fact that an OS comparison should be like-for-like (e.g. A single major version of OS X or ChromeOS to match the "Windows 10"), there should be some standard timeframe to measure them against. JousterL (talk) 01:57, 13 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I have removed that section, it is pure WP:SYNTHESIS, specifically using three refs that do not compare the systems and drawing a comparison from them. The main principle of WP:SYNTHESIS is Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any source. - Ahunt (talk) 02:06, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Remove source code link?
ChromeOS is closed-source, but ChromiumOS, what ChromeOS is based off of, is open-source. Noting that the article says that ChromeOS is proprietary, and it links to a source code, I think that because of this, the source code should be remove the source code link, as it point to ChromiumOS'.

Add section about ChromeOS Flex
The article mentions ChromeOS Flex once:

''ChromeOS Flex—a distribution of ChromeOS that can be installed on conventional PC hardware to replace other operating systems such as Windows and macOS. It is similar to CloudReady, a distribution of ChromiumOS whose developers were acquired by Google in 2020.Source''

I think it might be a good idea to add a section about ChromeOS Flex and the differences to ChromeOS. Currently, the differences are not clear and writing that ChromeOS Flex is supposed to be an alternative to Windows and macOS is misleading to end users. les.cx (talk) 19:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Add section on the "Everything" key
If someone would create a section about the "Everything" key, it could be added to Template:Keyboard keys.
