Is this yet another GNOME3 fork? Please don't contribute to the fragmentation of the Linux desktop, seriously. I'm primarily a KDE user, but I'd rather see all distros ship vanilla GNOME than the inconsistent mess we have today. Every time I help a new Linux user, I find that they're using a desktop I have never seen before, and I don't know how to help them setup Japanese input or HiDPI support without switching the entire desktop. I recently previewed GNOME40, and it's great: finally, virtual desktops and the "dock" behave similarly to any other OS, and animations are as smooth as macOS. Also, Wayland now works so well that you won't even notice you're using it. Even Canonical has figured out how to work with upstream to resolve their usability and performance concerns. Why can't System76 engineers do the same?
