Without downplaying the work put on Pop_OS, anyone can start an Ubuntu derivative distro in a few hours. Writing a DE from scratch is something else entirely, Ubuntu famously tried and it went nowhere.

It is a completely different undertaking but my point is, I'm willing to give System76 credit here and wait and see how this plays out instead of jumping to cynical conclusions about how terrible this will be.
