I'm surprised that Nextcloud haven't gone the whole way, and built a complete, lightweight, OS by now.

They already struggle to maintain their feature-creep in Nextcloud itself, so why reinvent the wheel to make yet another Linux distribution?

... because they're half way there, really.

Edit: Nextcloud feels different to an OS... Even though you work with apps (from a "store") : it's a contained world. It just seems odd to me that it has to be built atop something else, rather than coming as a complete entity.
