Would be nice if the blog post included screenshots big enough to actually see what it looks like.

Well sure, pictures and video on another page.

I assume the point of that blog post is to generate interest in the OS, so being able to discern details in the screenshots seems like a reasonable expectation in that context.

I have a system76 laptop and love using Pop_OS. Granted, I spend most of my day in the terminal, but the driver support for bluetooth and wifi are really good and work out of the box. Think Ubuntu, but less bloated.

Disappointed the arm release is raspberry pi specific and not a standard uefi aarch64 iso installer. Upstream Ubuntu releases these and they work great for esxi arm edition.

What is exactly the benefit of Pop_OS compared to Ubuntu? I mean installed drivers are great, but that was basically only one apt install command and a reboot.

A lot of people like the Pop OS desktop, COSMIC; I myself haven't used it or regular GNOME enough to say which one I prefer. (System76 said they're making a new version in Rust that isn't based on GNOME, but that's probably a long way from completion.)

I don’t daily drive pop os but i theirs a couple quality of life improvements like slimmed down default applications, improved App Store, default support for battery profiles. Also I don’t believe they install any Snaps and instead use flatpacks when necessary. People like the theme too.

It's been a while since I used Pop_OS but it played better with setting up Nvidia proprietary drivers from the get go and that helped with getting a quick local ML dev environment set up. Their new tiling window manager also looks neat (seems close to i3wm and I'm looking forward to trying it) and even though you can change colorschemes pretty easily, I like their default colorscheme.
