Literally when someone at the team claims it to be. ChromeOS isn't a 'linux distribution'.

If binaries built for one can run on the other, they are the same OS. Fedora KDE, Fedora GNOME, Ultramarine, etc are all Fedora. Conversely, RPMs built for Mageia don't work on Fedora because they are different operating systems.

I fucking hate how people install a new desktop environment on Arch Linux or Debian and call it their own OS. Nigga, you didn't write your own process scheduler or file system, what are you talking about?
