Unfortunately, 'the most widespread Linux distribution' is rounding error in the overall scheme of things from a desktop standpoint so it's actually pretty good that they support it as well as they do. Adding Nouveau to the mix is rounding error on the rounding error. So from Google's standpoint, sure they don't have the resources to test it relative to the number of impacted users. Looking at it another way: it's not like Apple or Microsoft will (ever) provide better support so they can get away with it. I solved the Chrome/Chromium on Linux problem long ago by switching to Firefox. I'll still fire up Chromium for Google sites and a handful of other sites, but for the most part Firefox has been getting it done for me.
