@yuliyan I don't think you are far off the mark, I like ChromeOS a lot and in fact, I'm using it to type this :) However, it can't decide what it is. Sure it is a browser-based OS, but what makes it really useful to many is that it also has Android and Linux containers. This makes it have a weird disjointed file system and I think that normies find that a bit strange. Which is why many of them don't stray away from the core browser-based part.

I think a pure Android-based desktop OS would be less confusing to many people.
