Isn't ChromeOS just a flavour of Linux?
- Technically, yes. Practically, it's complicated. It doesn't really exist within the same ecosystem as other Linux distros.
  
  It's not as different as Android (which is also technically a Linux distribution), but running a normal DE and all the programs that come with it is very clearly still an advanced user thing locked behind knowledge of how bash and virtual environments work.
