I think you underestimating ChromeOS

Right, forgot someone counts that as Linux. Which it technically is, but is not what we mean when we say Linux on a desktop. For a normie it’s still just a browser on a laptop.

I wouldn't count it as desktop Linux as well. But I think it's much more likely for chrome to take over Windows than it is for macOS.

Apple business strategy is to sell ~~overpriced~~ premium hardware. They don't want to sell 300$ notebooks.
