Except that the Linux part of ChromeOS is still open-source and the growth of ChromeOS still would yield benefits to Linux users across the board.

like i guess but linux has such high enterprise usage already that idk what it brings to the table for the free software people. if they didn't have their own bespoke DE maybe that, but as far as i can tell the only thing chromeos brings that the enterprise guys don't is consumer hardware support

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.
