How does the ChromeOS app store impact general Linux distros?

Hi, I was looking at the Google I/O stuff, and one of the screenshots was of ChromeOS's app store, which has games in it- two pictured were Plants Vs Zombies and Lego (Star Wars?). What are the chances of ChromeOS apps crossing over to regular Linux?

Depends on what framework they're using for the apps/games. If it's Android, then the chances are decent you might see some of that happen over on the desktop side of things.
