PopOS is marketed as a general purpose distro, same as Ubuntu. Made by System76, but don't think they're claiming it doesn't work anywhere else.

They're under no obligation to test it on Dell machines, of course. The community should be doing that.

Yeah, but I think jeppester also hits on a wider, and valid, point: OS X has got it easier, only needing to provide very limited hardware support.

Relatively, yes. They've now managed to support double digit configs across two CPU architectures, so from a throwing-stones-at-the-QA-team point of view it is a lot of work.

Definitely don't think System76 has that big a QA team, though, will have to be community supported as well.
