      Why? They haven&#x27;t killed anything, they have reduced support from 10 years to 8.

      Chromebooks tend to be cheap relative to other laptops so 8 years isn&#x27;t bad. Android tablets and Phones costing 2 or 3 times a chrome book have been promised 7 years for Android.

        ChromeOS (Gentoo-based) is to die, be replaced by Googlebook OS (Android-based).
