I can think of lots of reasons that will force me to have chrome installed if this goes ahead.

it might even go as far as being chrome on a supported OS (win/mac/cros/android with google play services)

The back fingerprint reader used to have gestures, so swiping down on it could for example open the notification shade. Was really good for not having greasy fingerprints on your screen

Wasn't this the plot of multiple Sylvester cartoons?

Yes let's shift the blame off massive polluting companies, we should eat veggies and let them warm the earth

I like buying shit as much as the next person, I also don't think endless growth for shareholders is a laudable goal and is likely dangerous. I also don't think that essential services should be run for profit, but then I am from a country with proper government health care. Government should set a baseline, not a company.

But as I said, I still like buying shit

I picked up RedHat 6.0 (hedwig) on the front of a Linux magazine in 2000. Took a few days to get X working on my Pentium3 at the time. In the end the thing that sent me back to Windows was an inability to get my modem running and thus no internet.

When I was at university in 2004 doing a network administration course, our lecturer was very proud of the livecd he'd created with an environment for the course. It was based on Fedora core 2. It was fascinating. Tried to install fc on my laptop at the time but struggled with ndis wrapper to get WiFi running.

Would try again out my early career (2006), went out to Ubuntu and debian. Gamed in early dx7/8 days in wine and Cedega. Would run home servers and mythtv on Linux over the years.

When the steam client beta came out I tried again in earnest to move to Linux full time and was ultimately successful, coming back to Fedora KDE 19 and staying there until moving to Fedora Kinoite last year.

Don't use Windows really except when I have to with building the SOE and a few windows servers at work. I am involved with azure and azureAD at work, so to me Microsoft is mostly a website and a powershell prompt.
