I restarted my chromebook and it asked for a login password and passphrase. After logging in I realized my settings, apps, and extensions were missing as if it were a new user logging in. I tried to remove the passphrase by ´´reset sync´´ it only erased the data which was showing all the tabs, bookmarks and extensions that were being synced. I went into the chrome os and found this image below. From my research I found out this means the process that is used to recognize the original chrome os does not, therefore it created another different one with the new instance being a ¨child¨ and the original being the ¨parent¨. There are three representations of a user when i originally only had two,

G'day @TuThree8 and welcome to linux.org :)

Chrome OS is not specifically a pure Linux Distro, but I hope someone here can help you :D

Good luck

Yes I believe that is correct it is not 100 percent linux, I am choosing a linux help forum because it seems most computer os that are command driven or encourages the use of the terminal use the same basic principle. I have found that this concept of Singleton is common among people who are familiar with using the terminal.
