From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There is blendOS which is an arch based immutable distro similar to Vanilla OS with different DE options
Except the installer requires one specific repo mirror to be up, which can't be customized, which has been down for weeks and the dev isn't very interested in providing any fix or workaround so a lot of people literally can't install it.
It's a bad suggestion, it's a beta product not fit for end user consumption yet.
