What is your opinion on Linux?
You don't need to use CrOS Flex, you can use Brunch, it's another to run ChromeOS but also allows you to use Android Apps on it (Which is the key feature of ChromeOS imo).

I was gifted a chromebook a little while ago. Turns out, it's got something called grub and ubuntu on it. How do I get chromeOS back?
You may look into Brunch as the Chrome OS Flex is more limited. https://github.com/sebanc/brunch

How do updates work on Brunch? Can I update to a new Chrome OS version like I can on a Chromebook, or do I have to do something special?
AFAIK there is no auto-updater in Brunch. Read about the project here: https://github.com/sebanc/brunch. Ask questons in r/Brunchbook.

Thorium on existing Cloudready? Does it auto-update?
Also, as far as ChromiumOS, I make my own builds that are "dev" channel, have kernel 5.10, linux firmware, codecs, and extra packages (see readme) https://github.com/Alex313031/ChromiumOS/

Stupid question outdated flint os
I'm not quite sure. I've only seen one video on YouTube about this project. I wouldn't trust it since it's not well known and I haven't seen people dig into the code yet. The latest release of Wayne OS was in September and that means that it doesn't have the most up-to-date features. I would recommend something like Alex313031's ChromiumOS. This guy is well known around the Cloudready Support Forums and has been creating his builds of Chromium OS for a while now. While I would recommend ChromeOS Flex, it's not completely stable yet.

Cloudready (v1) is slowly being decommissioned
It's okay. We still have open source projects that work like Cloudready since they were built with older builds. This guy has been developing his own version of ChromiumOS with Cloudready builds or something. He has said he will continue development on these builds since Cloudready is being discontinued. link to him talking about it on the Cloudready support forums
- I make my own Chromium fork for linux. Sharing for people who don't wanna use the snap chromium or 18.04 repos. Has enhancements and performance compiler optimizations.
- Who else uses the default Ubuntu GNOME layout? I think it’s oddly cozy and comfortable once I got used to it.

u/MHTMakerspace I would also be willing to make a custom build of chromium for you that may slightly increase memory performance. I also make my own custom browser based on chromium called Thorium as well as ChromiumOS builds with firmare and codecs in case you might be interested. > https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium and releases for windows > https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win and chromiumos here > https://github.com/Alex313031/ChromiumOS
