So what is the win for System76 here ???. They just make boutique computers computing against the like of Dell/Lenovo when it comes to Linux friendly computers

  The win is that they’re no longer required to work around Gnome as Gnome’s vision is to minify the DE. This makes it difficult to develop a custom flavor if your base keeps removing features or making strongly opinionated UI decisions.

    But why develop a desktop OS at all if your main focus is to sell computers unless you want to become like Apple and offer a bespoke hardware and OS experience ???. Google has done that with Chromebooks successfully but they focus on the educational market where the folks using them has very little choice in the matter.
