The chromebook i bought my mother in law announced back in September it’s getting no more updates.
Other chromebooks with comparable hardware are still getting updates. There’s nothing wrong with the hardware. It’s still snappy to use. Battery life is still north of 4 hours. Just no more updates suddenly from Google.
I just went through this. I decided to install GalliumOS. It works well, mostly. The only issue I have is the trackpad scrolling (two finger) is a little jumpy for both Firefox and Chrome. Otherwise, it works well.
