I'm very practically using Debian Linux on ChromeOS to develop test and debug enterprise software. I even compile and run some native code. It is very much more than just the web.

That is a VM, and actually maybe eventually it will be on top of Webassembly, how things are going.

    So is WSL on Windows. I wouldn't call Windows "just the web".

    There's also nothing stopping me from building and running local desktop GUI software on the VM.

    In fact, a VM is better in that I can back up and restore the image easily.
