    I'm confused by the review. All it talks about is the Desktop. Does the author not know that a desktop does not a distro make? What about the package manager or the utilities or the kernel or all the rest?

    Also, Pop!_OS is "cool because it's a continuation of Unity?" Are you kidding me? It was the double-whammy of Unity and GNOME3 that chased me off GNOME, where I had been for a decade, to XFCE and LXDE.

    The best part of the review was, after all that gushing about how beautiful the Unity-like desktop is, and confusing desktop for a distro, the author characterizes himself as a "power user." I don't smack my forehead as a rule, but I had to after reading that.
