Regarding the article today (9/18/19) about the Asus Chromebox 3 being the best you can buy right now, you say "it's not hard to update them yourself after the official support is over". How does one do this? I've never read that anywhere before. I just acquired a new Chromebox 3 at work to replace the original Asus Chromebox which had reached the end of automatic updates. I installed Gallium OS on the old one and am using it mainly to connect a printer to Google Cloud Printing. But I also have an original Asus Chromebox at home. If I can manually update Chrome OS, I will continue to use it as such rather than also installing Linux on it. Surely it is not simply a matter of going to Settings and checking for updates? I do that most of the time anyway because I am too impatient to wait on the auto update when I know there is a new feature coming that I'm interested in. If that is indeed all that is required to keep a Chromebook or Chromebox updated after the Auto Update Policy expires I feel that Google has done a terrible job of making that known. I had always assumed there would be no more updates available from Google after that.
