I'll grant that Android (though built on the Linux kernel) is not a Linux distribution, but that argument doesn't really apply to ChromeOS, a GNU/Linux distribution based on Gentoo Linux. Basically a Chromebook is Linux running the Chrome browser. It can now run Android applications (using a virtual machine) and it also runs Linux applications (in a container). And Chromebooks have been consistently outselling Macs for the last year, or year and a half. They are becoming a significant part of the "desktop" world (desktop referring to desktops and/or laptops).
