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.

I know this trailer wasn't targeted at me, but it didn't tell me anything about the distro.
If I had a friend say "I've been holding off on switching to Linux, but you know, that vanilla os trailer really made me reconsider," I would think, that's great...but none of it is specific to vanilla, all of that has been widely available in every Linux distro for years.
Yeah, I'm confused by this video (which is from nearly a year ago, btw). It looks like a gnome shell overview more than anything.
Also 22s of it's already brief 102s runtime was just Assassin's Creed gameplay lol.
