Chrome OS is actually also Linux isn't it?

It uses the Linux kernel with a browser userspace.

Some selected models allow to run GNU/Linux, WSL style, in its own sandboxed environment.

What a long way to say that "yes, it is linux indeed" :-)

Only if one wants to make the point of GNU/Linux being available, which isn't always the case, many only get the Linux kernel.
