“As you are doubtlessly aware, many Indian citizens depend on WhatsApp to communicate in everyday life. It is not just problematic, but also irresponsible, for WhatsApp to leverage this position to impose unfair terms and conditions on Indian users, particularly those that discriminate against Indian users vis-à-vis users in Europe,” MeitY has stated in the letter.

Most certainly is. Signal doesn't have a status feature to addict people. This ends up with people less addicted to the app.

> I guess my first reaction is what would be the value proposition over alternatives like System76 and Boxx?

Does their OS work equally well on non-System76 laptops? Because a lot of people would like a different laptop but would be fine using the System76 OS, that is, if it provides the same level of experience (battery life, performance) as laptops by System76.

Our focus would be on high-end laptops in the beginning. The timeline is when you'd expect things to be turn-key moving forward. The 2 years is just a guess.

Have you tried it on a recently released high end Laptop? Not Alienware level but something like the new Dell XPS 15?
