Chrome OS (and Android) are Linux OS’s, though. I understand that bothers the Linux fandom, but that doesn’t make it any less true.

I don’t really agree with it being “one of the best” and I would certainly not promote it, but I wouldn’t promote any of the others on that list aside from Debian anyway.

Read my comment again. I did not write ChromeOS was not a Linux desktop. In fact, I even stressed the fact.

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.
