I know technically ChromeOS is running Linux under the hood but it has been so bastardized by Google that it looses the spirit of Linux that it shouldn't be consider the same thing. At least in my opinion.

Hold on here how is Linux Desktop beating out chrome OS?
Don't get me wrong I am totally onboard with Linux winning over chrome OS. But I just don't believe it.

I can got to any local store right now and buy a Chrome OS computer. I can't say the same for Linux.
