    System76 (a laptop maker “rebrander”) is making their own desktop. Can’t think why ASUS, Lenovo or Dell could not contribute to some desktop or maintain their version.

      Because they’d need to support it or hire an assload of developers to bugfix and contribute to the projects they include in their distro.

      And that’s something those companies don’t like doing.

      System76 is a hardware vendor specifically created to cater to the Linux sphere.

        but they already do for their buggy ass apps like armory crate. I think that they are afraid to commit ressources for an OS that is barely used on desktop.

          Might we considered there may be a tiny difference in scope between an OS and an app like Armory Crate.

            Yeah an OS from Asus would probably just blow up. Even on Android they basically keep it close to AOSP with only a function here and there.
