Not mine but sounds like a showerthought to me. TL;DR ChromeOS is the “wrong” version of Linux and has 4% while GNU/Linux has 3%

I think it's valuable to make the distinction, whether it's based on linux or not. Just like it's valuable to make the distinction between unix and macOS.

Because despite all that sophistic nonsense, one of those allows an already too powerful corporation to extend its monopoly into the hardware realm, while reducing user agency.
