Anna, no, it's not like a Chromebook at all.
The Chrome browser is a Google product. Ubuntu is a version of Linux. Unlike Windows or Chrome, Ubuntu isn't owned by a for-profit company. Instead it's an open-source product free for anyone to use.

ANNA STEVE HAD A APPLE MAC MINI, MIGHT THAT BE WHAT YOUR THINKING OF?
THE ACTUAL COMPUTER HARDWARE IS SMALLER THAN YOUR DELL.
THERE ARE WINDOWS VERSIONS TOO.
THINK A MODERN FULL STRENGTH VERSION OF A WEB TV.

Anna, on viruses & malware: Ubuntu is well known for being protected against those. It's virtually virus-proof. So much so that I don't even have any kind of antivirus software installed. No virus problems in 9 years.

I CHECKED THE DATE AND TIME AND IT IS CORRECT BUT I'M STILL GETTING THE SAME MSG SO I TRIED SETTING IT BACK AN HOUR BUT STILL SAME MSG.
IT SAYS FOR ME TO REACH GOOGLE CHROME THE CLOCK NEEDS TO BE CORRECT.
I WAS JUST TRYING TO REACH THIS GROUP ON THE OLD LAPTOP BUT I GUESS IT ISN'T GOING TO WORK.
THERE ISN'T MUCH YALL CAN DO TO HELP ME WITHOUT YOU ACTUALLY BEING ON THE PC YOURSELF.
I AM MORE OR LESS JUST UPDATING YALL.

Anna, changing the time on Windows 11 is a bit more involved that you've tried. Here's how to do it:
Right-click the date/time from the right side of the taskbar, and choose Adjust date and time.
Select the toggle next to Set time automatically to turn it Off.
Select Change.
Set the date and time, then select Change to confirm.

Anna, I e-mailed you the link & I've deleted your post with your address in it so a bot doesn't find & grab it.
