Steam on Chrome OS could soon become a reality
Google’s ambitions for gaming-focused Chromebooks might be close to reality. After years of teasing Steam for Chrome OS and even Nvidia demoing support for DLSS and ray tracing on Arm-based Chromebooks, references to new gaming Chromebooks have now been spotted in test versions of Chrome OS.
Google revealed two years ago that it was working on Steam support for Chromebooks, but we’ve heard very little ever since.

I hope Chrome OS Gaming laptops are affordable for most people to buy, and it can run many Steam games well at a decent frame rate and video quality settings.
I think the main advantages about Chrome OS for gaming is that Chrome OS does not use a lot of storage space on a SSD storage drive.,so there is many more GBs of free SSD storage space for games, apps, programs, media files, and documents.
Chrome OS also does not come with 3rd-party bundled software like a System Utilities, Security software like antivirus and VPN apps, Media player or video editor which can use up many hundred of MBs to a few GBs of storage space which can be better used for storing games and video captures of gameplay footage which can use many GBs of space.
