Hi,

For a long time, I have been noticing what I am actually doing and using my big "expensive" desktop PC for. Now that I stream music, movies, office 365 and games via Stadia. I don't see a reason for my big PC.

One of the few things I'm going to miss is my Plex server. However, here I have looked at an NVIDIA Shield TV Pro, to which I can connect external hard drive, and this device should be accessible from Chrome OS.

One last thing I'm going to miss is the possibility of using handbrake, but I can understand that if you buy the new Asus Chromebook flip c436, with a good CPU and enough RAM, then you can use dual boot and run Linux as handbrake can be installed on Linux.

Is there anyone in this forum who has experience with this type of setup, or anyone who can comment on my thoughts on this change from windows to Chrome OS?
