> ChromeOS adding almost zero value here. Functional hardware accelerated video playback is a pretty big value to have (neither firefox nor chrome supports hwa video decoding on linux, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hardware_video_acceleration#Application_support https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hardware_video_accelera... ). It also has a much better system compositor than X11, actually shaking off the broken legacy cruft that Linux distros seem determined to cling on to. You can get some of this on "regular" linux with projects like https://github.com/intel/ozone-wayland https://github.com/intel/ozone-wayland but the state of graphics & video support on Linux continues to be a joke (relevant xkcd from 10 years ago https://xkcd.com/619/ https://xkcd.com/619/ )
