Just looking into Vanilla, and hey, I like it. They've found workarounds for a lot of Linux architectural problems:

- A/B root partitions so you can update without worrying about bricking your install.

- Multiple driver sets available on install, minimizing the need for driver futzing.

- Runs Android apps out of the box (instantly increases the number of supported apps by, millions, and you don't need to install the compatibility layer, it's just there)

- No more running things with sudo (about time Linux caught up to modern desktop operating systems)

- The distro installer looks more user-friendly than any I've seen

- A GUI for switching between graphics cards

So yeah, I can see this becoming more popular in the future. These features are just too good.
