I gave Vanilla OS an honest try last month, and my experience was nothing short of frustration. Both due to my inability to devote time to search through docs or issues and Vanilla OS' strange choices. Pros: - Probably the only Ubuntu based distro with vanilla Gnome. - Distrobox OOB, can use any package manager. Cons: - No Nvidia drivers, my laptop failed to even boot the installer. - Installing additional drivers is nothing but pain. - Too vanilla for my taste, requires a lot of configuration to get to usable state (that other distros provide out of the box). - Sandboxed apps provide more trouble than not. - apx is slow, I'd rather stick to apt. I then tried Manjaro Gnome which was a much, much better experience, everything just worked. Manjaro gets a lot of bad rep (I've been on the hate train too) but at least their defaults are sensible. I tried VanillaOS only because of the Ubuntu base, because Ubuntu guarantees a stable system at the very least. I don't think I'd be able to recommend it to anyone though, the distro is very well-made, but I just can't find a justification for it.
