Most people believe Chrome OS is not a true Linux distribution but rather a Windows-based operating system with some Linux features.

In my view, ChromeOS resembles a Linux distribution since you can add Linux software and during my investigation I discovered it's fundamentally Linux, not ChromeOS.

CloudReady and ChromeOS are distinct platforms. CloudReady focuses on enabling devices to connect to the cloud, while ChromeOS is a lightweight operating system built for Chromebooks. The main difference lies in their purpose and target use cases.

Responses explaining the reasons:
1) Chrome OS is developed using Linux as its foundation.
2) It allows users to run Linux-based applications.
3) The company behind it confirms this design choice.

That doesn't really matter, a custom OS derivative remains the same system, just with minor limitations. It feels like BSD/Unix—what bothers me is when I say I prefer Unix, they respond "so you must like Linux too"... no, it's not the same.

It seems you're suggesting that the best method to run Linux applications is by creating a partition and using a container like Crostini. ChromeOS, despite containing a Linux kernel, doesn't offer much value to regular users.

It's a Linux distribution. There are many that don't act like typical ones—appliances, routers, phones, etc. That's the strength of Linux, you can customize it freely. Is it useful? It depends on the situation. For certain needs it might not be the best compared to other Linux distros.
