Isn't system76 and PopOS like that?

  No, have you used it? The Gnome customizations that go into Pop_OS! are more noticeably influenced by Windows-isms than they resemble Mac-like design (unfortunately -- the Windows influence leads to poorer outcomes that only really make sense when you realize that it's because it matches something in Windows, and not because there's any good from-first-principles rationale for those things).

    I think they meant "like that" wrt drivers not being an issue and not having to drop out of the GUI.

    It’s my daily driver. I’ve used Windows and OSX heavily for the past 30 years. Pop is not really like either. It’s its own beast, and I rather like it.

  No. The Pop! OS UI is basically gnome with tiling. I wouldn't say it draws from either Windows or Mac OS, though I think Gnome takes cues from Mac OS. I wanted to like the tiling, but I always seemed to get lost after a few hours if I was task switching too much, so I just switched back to KDE, which is definitely more Windows-like. For me the draw to System76 is the hardware, knowing the right drivers are already integrated, etc. and their focus on CUDA / TensorFlow tooling. The first 2 are common reasons to like Apple and their philosophy... edit: Oh - like another commenter I misunderstood and thought you were discussing resembling the UI. But no you're talking about integrated hardware and software and I guess that's the point I ended up agreeing with :)
