Ask HN: Would you pay for a beautiful and stable Linux-distro for high-end PCs?

I use PopOS as my OS on a high end PC and it is pretty good. There are some things which I find annoying, such as Bluetooth headphones going to a headset mode at the start of calls. Just tiny things. Would I pay to have a smoother experience? Probably, - I would like the OS to be as smooth as possible.

Although, I don't think that's the main problem with a Linux distro. Most of the friction still comes from third party apps, such as Teams (which I use for calls multiple times a week and it absolutely sucks).

Have you tried it on a recently released high end Laptop? Not Alienware level but something like the new Dell XPS 15?

I have not. I use a MacBook Pro as my laptop.

Is there a reason why MacBook Pro and not a laptop that runs says Pop OS or Ubuntu?
