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.

Not enough content if it just said “ChromeOS should count as desktop Linux too” and said the basic reason why, “all the GNU bits are still there.“
I don’t think they’re necessarily wrong about why some people would argue against it, but at least they could allow that discussion to take place.
And the title is awful.
