System 76 - Creating their own Linux OS - Pop! OS
-
Looks like System 76 is creating their own Linux OS based on Ubuntu of course. Has anyone seen/played with this yet?
-
Looks like it is a direct response to Ubuntu leaving Unity behind.

Yup, a couple places have been doing stuff like that. But really, it just makes System 76 that much less interesting.

But why? Gnome 3 with extension can duplicate what Unity provided.

And do it without really splintering the space.

I think it's a major waste of resources. That's why most (99,9%) of Linux distros suck. Lack of resources required to make it viable and keep it updated.
Now their hardware systems will get less resources so they can give more to their own Linux distro that will also have non-optimal resources, making both worse.
Unity is bad anyways, who cares?

Yup, this is what gets Korora. Mint is one of the few that has resources to do what it does, and Deepin. Other than those, it seems that mostly it is just the big commercial vendor systems (RH, Suse, and Canonical) that can keep things tight enough to be truly viable. Lots of good research and testing out there from smaller distros, but the solidness that only the big three can bring is pretty important.
