As a matter of fact, ChromeOs proved to be successful because you could find it preinstalled in real stores
it's google... and not a real os
Under what definition of "OS" are Android and ChromeOS not Linux-based OSes?
Linux (via Android) is in fact the most popular OS used to browse the web today.
Android does not mean smartphones only anymore, thanks to raspberry it completely replaced WinCE in the embedded world, just think of car entertainment systems, tablets, video conferencing systems, industrial automation (robots and co), VR equipments, etc...
It's not a SINGLE os.
The base OS (the top layer in the pic) is gentoo based.
