Linux has nearly half of the desktop OS Linux market

It would be twice as much if people could stop arguing about who counts and who doesn't

Not mine but sounds like a showerthought to me. TL;DR ChromeOS is the “wrong” version of Linux and has 4% while GNU/Linux has 3%

    I don’t think you are missing anything except the creeping in scope of the term “Linux” to exclude what they don’t like. Embedded Linux works with 0 GUI, and dont conforms to Freedesktop standards (obviously), yet it’s ridiculous for anyone to argue that isnt Linux. Alpine Linux also do not use GNU land, yet saying it is not “Linux” is also asinine. ChromeOS imo is Linux, it’s locked down Linux, but Linux nonetheless.
