I wouldn't call ChromeOS Linux anymore than I would call MacOS FreeBSD (oversimplified comparison, but it works for my point).
It may be based on a Linux kernel but it contains closed source code that's needed for essential functionality, and we don't get to choose hardware independently of the OS, nor a different OS for the hardware.
It's an ecosystem that's hostile to user rights and in my opinion doesn't fit the spirit of what Linux is.
Edit: I suppose that's a bit gatekeeperish? But I don't think Linux adoption should be achieved at the cost of user freedom and choice. It loses what makes it special at that point.
you can install chomeOS flex on your computer tho, i agree wuth you, but my argument is about the OS more pre-made with atomic updates and things like that to be more reliable and stable
