Chromium OS is based on Linux.

But yeah, if I can't apt-get the packages I need, fuck it

its not based on linux it uses the linux kernel, but hasnt got the gnu userland things a "standard" linux distro has

So it's Linux, but not GNU/Linux.

You can do that with chrome os. Chrome os has a really good Linux subsystem built in nowadays.

Didn't actually now there was a chromium version to be honest but i imagine it's very similar to standard Chrome but with less Google

It's literally in the article and the top-level comment.

It's not clear which features are in the OSS version and which are locked-down.

I mean I also completely overlooked that you wrote "Chromium" in your comment too, with my brain just translating that to just "chrome" it seems.
