This article is based on StatCounter, and I would like to see evidence that StatCounter data is reliable. Their historical data is all over the place and probably includes a lot of bot activity. I would be surprised if Linux desktop usage share is above ChromeOS. Statista reports that it is not.

I could see desktop Linux being higher than ChromeOS if what's being tracked is activity at websites that ChromeOS' target audience wouldn't often visit - which to your point, leads to the question of what the denominator is (all "desktop computing" form factor devices, all devices that browse the internet, are devices restricted to an intranet included, etc.)
