Yeah, ChromeOS is a linux distro that boots chrome and is now being officially split into Lacros (Linux and ChromeOS), but honestly, we should be able to make a "distro" that just starts a DE with firefox or chromium as the main window. Extensions could be written that present the filesystem in firefox or chromium and most users would be none the wiser.

Call it WebOS or something.

Does something like that already exist?

Looks like you can just install Linux on them? Wouldn't that be better?
