PopOS is not wasted effort. The goal of PopOS is to have an out of the box Linux aimed at people new to Linux that has everything working out of the box. Specifically, graphics drivers working out of the box which is notoriously hard if you are running an Nvidia card. According to the Steam Hardware survey, it is 10th on the top 10 Linux distros[0]. Realistically higher when you consider that the Steam Deck and SteamOS heavily tilt the survey. I'm not asking them to build an OS from scratch and that is a crazy way to interpret what I said which was "build around a distro" [0] https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/steam-hardware-software-survey-welcome-to-steam?platform=linux https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/steam-hardware-softw...
