Despite what you might think, Linux has been easy to use for more than a decade now. Sure, it helps to know your way around the Bash shell. But, hey, it helps to know your way around PowerShell on Windows — and how many of us know how to do that? Not knowing PowerShell never stopped you from getting your work done on a Windows PC, did it? It’s the same with the Linux desktop. (Personally, I recommend Linux Mint; I’ve even detailed how you can give your old Windows 10 box a new lease on life with Linux.

ChromeOS Flex turns your PC or laptop into a Chromebook. True, you can’t run your standalone Windows programs on it, but it has no trouble with Microsoft 365 and essentially all other Software-as-a-Service applications. The installation is simple, and if you know how to use a web browser, which you must since you’re reading this article, you can use ChromeOS Flex.
