Linux Mint Chromium Version

Linux Mint Cinnamon is great and almost mimics Chrome OS
the pros of a fully operational OS are huge
Chrome OS lacks fully operational OS - therefore
a Chromium build (one that would default to the Chromium (Open Source) browser to mimic Chrome OS) would be a great benefit.
The second step would be to get this ISO to be able to install dual boot or overwrite existing chromebooks.
This would give Chromebook users a powerful OS
Would recommend using the WPS office instead, it much more Windows friendly. Also have some other default apps and tools on it pre-installed.
If it could integrate google docs and drive, even better.
The last step would be to partner with Chromebook vendors, to offer a mint version.

Linuxmint is a distro based on ubuntu and debian that offers usability and flexibility to a wide usergroup. The project has limited resources and developing a custom version based on a different base for a small number of potential users would not be an efficient use of those resources imo.
This is in my opinion not something that mint should focus on
