From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

He is right in the sense that we do not need another distro. He says you could customize linux a lot in the past and he celebrates that - and system76 is customizing their computer.
He is right that the money wpuld be better spent somewhere else but system76 is trying to sell laptops and they do so by distinguishing themselves from the rest by creating their own de.
Cosmic looks like KNOME and I won't use it. But I don't use cinnamon either and there are people who like it.
I don't like that there is another de but it drives competition which is good. Maybe GNOME has to give their apps more functionality now.
Tbh cosmic looking like knome is part of why I want to use it
