content: What are you talking about?  If you paid a tiny iota of attention to the article, you'd see that this is running a version of Linux... An OLD version (3.14.0 when current, safe versions are at 4.4.1-2), mind you.  Hell, you didn't even have to pay attention to the article... If you knew anything about the ChromeOS ecosystem, you'd know it's Linux.  I just don't see a benefit, but you apparently do...  Why would I use an old, outdated kernel when I can run literally any distro I want and have the current, stable, safe, and LTS release?  Why would I use this OS when in makes me do a song and dance to get a terminal window, but literally any other distro will give it to me up front?  Why would I run a version of Linux that SEVERELY restricts which packages I can use and how I can get them, when I can literally use any other distro and get a full suite of packages through an open package manager? And "restricts" is being generous. Without Google services, you can't download from the Google Appstore, so that avenue is closed. And the creators of this distro say that there's NO PACKAGE MANAGER unless you do a rain dance and jump through more hoops. So you literally can't download any applications/packages/programs which don't already come with the OS... You can't even update what you have.  What exactly is the benefit here, and why is it supposed to be appealing? This is the very same question I asked, but you avoided.  Why don't you answer some of these before you get your little panties in a twist. But, before you do that, how about you "fuck off?"
