Vanilla OS 2 Orchid will be released "very soon"
discord.com
Original message from the Vanilla OS Discord announcment, from @mirkob1:
For those asking for Vanilla OS 2 Orchid's release date, the simple answer is: soon, very soon.
While the full one is: please let us work with no rush, Orchid has a complex structure, introduces new paradigms and we want to be sure that everything works the best before releasing.

Really like this distro, waiting for Orchid so I can finally stop hopping
Want to lay down a few of those reasons? Hard to tell with all the marketing hype WHAT exactly this distro is unique for, and why people should bother trying.
Edit: found this which answered my questions. https://distrowatch.com/weekly-mobile.php?issue=20230116#vanilla
It's an immutable distro that simplifies running Android apps and containers for software from other distributions. It uses it's own tool for immutability called ABRoot that also allows you to safely install native packages when needed.
Oh, I was getting ready to answer you but it seems like candle_lighter already did it for me, and you managed to find your own answers :)
To put it in few words: I just like how Vanilla's implementation of immutability makes it so simple to use.
There’s the link you posted but there’s also a lot more, I think the latest blog post on their site (as of this comment) has all the new stuff. I recommend checking that out for up to date info.
