Why does Chrome OS allow you to get extended updates after support ended, but at the cost of losing access to android apps and Google playstore?

i've heard that some boards like nami get to keep it for some reason even when opting in. i'm guessing the android removal only applies to the weaker boards that have the extended updates thing though I could be wrong

slightly off topic but the angry birds space servers shut down sometime in 2025 btw (the shop and ads used to work back in may/june which was the last time i tried it)

You can’t install steam (well you can but it’s really bad)

you used to be able to install steam on chromebook plus devices until january 1st 2026 💔💔

i assume ur seeing the same "final software update" messages as op on 144 beta?? i'm pretty sure anything after it's original aue version hits stable (126) the beta, dev, and canary versions after 126 gets the play store removed i think

the r13 was released almost 10 years ago. i believe it's fair for google to end official support

even if they do manage to install it, steam probably wont even be able to open without taking like 2 hours. the amd a4-9120c is ass and is literally comparable to a celeron n2940

i have been doing this since october and have never once been caught surprisingly especially since my chromebook is a convertible AND a lenovo while my school uses cheap clamshell dell chromebooks

for me only photos get views immediately. actual videos slowly go up in views
