This is not really accurate, especially nowadays...
* Based on Gentoo- it was actually based on Ubuntu during development, and I believe it switched to a Debian base (from Gentoo) a year or two ago.
* A slapped on browser - it's a lot more than that. It has its own window manager and many other things. It's closer to normal Linux than Android is, but there's quite a lot of differences.
* Toggling Linux apps on - you have been able to install a chroot unofficially and can run Linux apps that way, but integration with the GUI is pretty janky. Official support for Linux apps is very new and not supported on a lot of hardware.
* Install another distro - not always an option. A lot of the machines have spotty driver and/or firmware support, e.g. my Acer Chromebook is a big headache to get working. Some are supported pretty well though.
