Ignore that user. They are most likely a troll, probably my most down voted user in all of Lemmy. I once thought of blocking them, but then realized it is kind of like having a pet. They are too small and stupid to hurt anyone, but it is funny to watch them try. Ocassionally they drop some gems that are truly hilariously bad. Not KenM bad, but close tho.
No they don’t. Yes you do. And they definitely have to sell it if you’re going to claim some sort of conflict of interest. It’s not a selling point of their laptops, because you can remove it and install any other distro, and also (more importantly) you can use the distro on any other machine. You can buy a Framework laptop and put Pop OS on it. There’s no logical reason to dissuade people from using it.
That’s not the point. The point OP was making is that he shat on a competitor’s product without disclosing it.
He didn’t shit on anyone’s product. System76 sells laptops, not distros. Jesus Tittyfucking Christ you guys are so irrational and deluded.
System76 makes PopOS.

Do they SELL PopOS? No? QED.
Yes. On their laptops. Also, you don’t need to sell something for it to be a product.

By that logic, SteamOS is not a selling point of the Steam Deck, and SteamOS is not a Valve product.
And yes, they do sell it on their laptops:
No, by my logic, Valve does not sell SteamOS, which is correct. Much like Pop, it’s freely available to install on any machine, including Framework.
By your logic, Linus would hate SteamOS too.
Is this photo supposed to prove something? I don’t see a charge for PopOS?
