People don't consider ChromeOS as a Linux desktop but I consider it a great one.
With the addition of Crostini, you get a full Debian based Linux running near native speed inside a KVM vm, and you can communicate between the ChromeOS and the VM seamlessly.
You can run Linux GUI programs and it will work (albeit the UI is a bit off, font etc), so vscode/IntelliJ works. You can listen to localhost:$PORT in the Linux VM and access it from ChromeOS. You can manage files inside and outside of the VM using ChromeOS's File app.
