If anyone can pull this, for me it is definitely System76. Love PopOS. Even though I am an archlinux user but of all the distros I have tried(and I have tried a lot), PopOS was the one that just worked. On dozen+ different devices with different quirks, every other distro has caused some or the other issue but PopOS just worked. Even though it felt like a simple skin on ubuntu with a different store but there is definitely a lot going on beneath the surface to make it a solid experience.
Really hope they pull something good off here.
