I previously bought a Thelio desktop from System76 and it was great. I ended up upgrading and basically took all the parts from it except motherboard and cpu. I still use PopOS as my daily driver and have no reason to ever switch to anything else. Drivers always work and updates are painless. Major version upgrades are always smooth. I haven’t had any external hardware compatibility issues (though to be fair this isn’t just PopOS, but Linux in general improving). I’m a huge fan of PopOS.

+1 It might be a bit pricy, but the tech support is amazing. I just spent a few weeks working with them to debug a transient kernel panic with my new Thelio. Throughout the entire process, I talked to support techs with actual agency, and not just automata reading a script. Serious kudos to System76. (The problem ultimately turned out to be a clearly labeled experimental feature I'd turned on a few months earlier and forgotten about. Ooops...) The Thelio is my daily driver, and PopOS just fades into the background.
