I've been using a Chromebook for about 10 years (when they first came out). I used Windows 7 for many years because I need TurboTax and Quicken. After 2018 I didn't need either of those, so I convert my PC to Linux Mint. I still use the Chromebook 99.9% of the time, but from time to time I use the Linux machine for some oddball stuff. I will never go back to Windows.

Linux is free and most of the available programs (which there are thousands) are free also. With a little bit of work, you can find a Linux substitute for just about any Windows program you need.
