    But you’re comparing apples and oranges. With a Chromebook, the OS is being updated to a new version every month. You’re comparing a device being able to support a certain number of versions of an OS to an OS receiving application and security updates. It’s a meaningless comparison because a typical laptop running Linux can be upgraded to an arbitrary number of new versions of any Linux distribution.
