Speed: Chromebooks boot fast (you will mostly use the web, so there is not much on your computer anyway).Freedom: There is no tying: you won't pay a Windows license and most of them are using Coreboot instead of a proprietary BIOS! But Chrome OS's sources are not open, and that is why we prefer Chromium OS.Price: Chromebooks are very cheap devices! The cheapest one is around $150.Security: Chrome and Chromium OS have a specific security policy, using sandboxes as a security mechanism to isolate different processes and don't let them access the file system from inside a sandbox, not having packet installation because there are web application to answer all the user's need, encrypting each user's partition independently.Why choosing Chromebooks with Chrom* OS instead of another GNU/Linux distribution? We only create Free Software (see our full stack) so we want to have a Free alternative for Chrome OS which fits our needs.
NayuOS is an ongoing project at Nexedi: since we mainly use Chromebooks as part of our development tools, we want to have more customizable, secure and privacy-compliant devices.
