Instead of using a "free of spyware/crapware operating system" you use a crap laptop with low specs. But wait, its so useless that it has to emulate a real linux to do something usefull... and as nobody is developing "apps/webs" for "native" cromiumOS you also need another layer of emulation for android. Hummm, no thank you I will keep with my debian runing...

ChromeOS runs Debian in an LXD container. You can install desktop apps in it (e.g. using Flatpak) and they appear as launchable icons on the ChromeOS desktop. Being LXD you're not just limited to one container either. I have additional multiple containers with Ubuntu and AlmaLinux on my Chromebook and can use other LXD features to snapshot and publish them as required. This is far from being "useless".

  You can? I thought it ran on a totally nonstandard stack meaning no X, PulseAudio, systemd etc. How do regular Linux apps work? Is there some sort of compatibility layer?

  Windows also runs Ubuntu. That's really not a good reason to use it
