  1. Theoretically, yes, it will be possible, but when ? Nobody knows.

  2. Hey DT! Isn't ChromeOS kind of like having videos on YouTube ? I mean, ChromeOS by itself you can say it's AIDS, but, compared to the cancer that is Windows, you are in Linux ecosystem, so you can get used to it, so LATER you can have an easy transition to a FOSS Linux distro. There's also ChromiumOS ? Also, reviewing I wouldn't say is the same as promoting. You could review it, and compare it to, say, Arch, and note it's shortcomings. Or simply state that it's doing its job ok (theoretically, I have no idea how it runs) but is proprietary and that's bad because X, Y and Z. Someone totally out of FOSS mindset might want to check ChromeOS, if it's ok to be used instead of Windows, land on your video and have more insight overall. Checking the competition from time to time and seeing the exact differences is healty in an honest debate, where you know exactly what Linux does better, and you can also see what Windows does better and can learn and comment that maybe Linux should do aswell. Also, also, regarding GNU/Hurd, you can still review it, to see and show where it stands in terms of support and features. And of course, mention that it's not ready for bare-metal install and daily usage. People have done the same with HaikuOS and ReactOS and nobody complained that it ruined their computer or something. Wait, haven't you reviewed ReactOS at some point ? Why the change of heart ?

  3.  @lazyh0rse  You didn't understand my point. Yeah, you're telling me to just use Ubuntu, but I'm not the target, since I already know better. But a dad who works in marketing might not have a clue when he searches for a laptop for his son and sees that there's laptops with Windows and laptops with Chrome OS. He knows about Windows, but doesn't about Chrome OS, so he does a quick check online or on YT about ChromeOS. Where will he hear "just use Ubuntu" if DT or other FOSS people don't make a video about ChromeOS ? That was my point.
