    I guess this is a situation where the proper name of GNU / Linux is useful

    Edit: Chrome OS is is a GNU/ Linux and a couple of “proper” Linuxes are not.

      As far as I know, ChromeOS is also GNU/Linux (It uses full glibc, includes gnu utils and bash), so not so much.

        Such definitions are becoming more and more complicated. I think we should standardize a name for the family of systems we use, or it will become uglier and uglier.

        Recently, I had to write an academic work in the area, and an entire section was dedicated to explaining this controversy and defining what kind of system I was talking about, so that the work is reproducible.
