Total newbie will peacock strea on chromeos-flex

I think I just spent 2 days messing with drives and installing chromeos-flex for naught as Gemini told me it would stream peacock then it told me it would not. I figured after awhile there wouldn't be so much discussion around this if it were that easy (but hard for me). Is there a way? Thank you for any insight. I also spent a few days installing cinnamon. :)

Chrome OS flex is great for underpowered Intel NUC.

I have a intel NUC with Celeron J4025 (With 4GB Ram + 8GB that i put) which i bought 3 years back. It came with with Window 11 which was unusable.

Then i installed Linus mint. It was usable. But chrome & firefox where very laggy. So NUC was lying without any use.

I was planning to install ChromeOS. But failed multiple times. Last night i successfully installed ChromeOS. Thanks to Gemini. I had a faulty 240 GB SATA drive which was interfering with the OS installation.

Now my Intel NUC is flying, super smooth. It works as good as my 12th Gen Laptop. My use case is browsing & its best for that.

An alternative distro look like ChromeOS Flex?

After updating to version 150 on ChromeOS Flex, my device, an old HP Pavillion G4-1035TU from 2010, is no longer supported by it anymore due its old Intel chipset. Could you tell me if there is an alternative OS that mainly focus on the web like ChromeOS Flex, please? I really love the lightweight of web-based OS because it is easy to use and learn than traditional OS.
