When you say fork are you talking about the desktop environments or the whole distros? Pop's desktop environment looks like a barely customized Gnome3 session

When you say fork are you talking about the desktop environments or the whole distros?
Pop's desktop environment looks like a barely customized Gnome3 session to me. I'm not sure I would even call it a fork. Looks more like just a theme.
Pantheon (Elementary) is more of a fork of Gnome3, reusing some low level parts but presenting a much different experience to the user.
- bwat49 7y agoyeah pop is just using the gnome desktop (with custom theming, a few extensions, and an improved set of default keyboard shortcuts. They have collaborated with elementary in a few areas though. Instead of gnome software, they have Pop Shop, which I believe is a fork of the elementary app center. They also use their own installer, which I believe was a collaboration with elementary os.
