A desktop like any other - probably flagged by some Linux fanboys

How nice, that someone removed all the current ChromiumOS based distributions since there is no other End-user way to use it...

Maybe this option should be flagged and each of those distros be added separately? Since Chromium OS isn't a user-facing OS perse.

All ChromiumOS forks share the same User-Interface/Desktop so there is no need to add each distribution seperately. However since building ChromiumOS as an end-user is a nearly impossible task there should be a list (in the description) to the most used ChromiumOS forks like: ChromeOS, CloudReady, FydeOS etc.

ChromiumOS technically does not fit the question, so we can't add it. And to follow the format of Slant, we should add things that have a "get it here" link that allows you to get the product that was compared to others under the given question. I think the solution would be to add a selection of the distros - whichever of them seem best.

It does, because we compare Desktops here not the OS" itself.

Distributions have nothing to do with desktops as a distribution is a software bundle published by someone ( OS+User-land+Desktop+Applications). As for me this Question compares desktops, the part of the OS in which the user interacts, so we talk/compare things like web browsing, file management and window management(basically everything after the login)

Well, yes, but Chromium OS is not a DE even though it kinda technically includes a DE. It can be confusing for other users to have this listed here. It's not like you can use the Chromium OS desktop with any distribution (like with KDE for example).

As you can see in the Question ist is not about Linux desktop environments - it is about Desktops and Chromium has a desktop. It has its own panel an browser, a file manager and a archie manager.

PS: I started this question so I know for what i was asking - the problem is just that this side does not allow to add a description to a question to add more details.

Wouldn't this qualify "Windows" as an answer too then? Since Windows is an OS that comes with a built-in DE.

Yes, it is also included just like: OS/2, OSX, Haiku or PhoenixOS

It is an OS. Not a DE.

But we are talking here about its interface, that is why it is named ''XXX Desktop'''
