I don’t say they’re bad, I just say ChromeOS and four nearly equivalent distributions can hardly count as the five best.

They all have the same package manager apart from ChromeOS. Debian is actually my favourite Linux distribution, but a lot of people are happy with other distributions. You could’ve just made the article ‘the two best Linux distributions’ and included Ubuntu and Debian.

ChromeOS is proprietary. That’s the reason I don’t like it. I don’t have an issue with any of the others.

So you basically disagree without even reading nor understanding my comment. Alright.

I think there are more variables to consider than package manager or closed vs open source, what makes a good Distro. iOS is also not bad, no matter if closed or not, for most people other factors are more important like usability.

Yes and for me the usability of ChromeOS is bad because I need to use my PC for other things than webbrowsing. I actually contributed to GalliumOS which, for me, offers a much better Linux experience.

Chrome OS not just for web browsing, it has a file manager, media player and more included.

Do not project your opinion on others, this will not work. Just because you think it is bad does not mean it actually is, no argument you had is a K.O. argument because why shall I install another OS and trust randoms when I already decided to trust Google with email etc. Switching each time to other products increases the risk of exposing data to platforms and people you do not know. Google has, as said, high security standards and the OS is same like Windows or other closed platforms well maintained.

Better is not an objective argument, that is why I am out here.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
