Any full Linux distro imposes needless management complexity for the broadest segment of users. I'm not going to argue the fact. It's true.
Your own message #736 in this thread is sufficient proof for most people to whom it applies.
ChromeOS just works, and maintains itself.
If a particular users sees nothing of concern in #736, then that user is free to install Linux, under sl42's plan.

Well, talking about the "lackluster sales of Linux boxes" is a bit silly, since most every "Linux box" shipped as a Windows box. As only a very small percentage of Linux users actually buy machines from places like System-76 (especially since you can get comparable hardware cheaper from other retailers loaded with Windows), Linux machines are very rarely "sold".
