Pop OS is the best Linux desktop right now for new users. Imagine if they would have decided to not built it at all. Quite a loss for Linux users in general.

And now they want to build something new from scratch... The possibilities are pretty huge. In a few years we could have something that is faster and better looking than mac os for Linux, with innovative new features that doesnt exist in mac os or Windows.

Also great to see this happen from System76 and not Google or Microsoft. The culture of a company is super important for what it produces.

I mean, Pop OS is just ubuntu with a few tweaks here and there — not taking away from them but let’s be honest.

It is absolutely not an interesting distro in itself, from a technical point of view.
