There is naturally the version that works, keeping the Linux kernel, and replacing the userland with managed language frameworks, I have heard they are making a huge success in mobile devices and throwaway laptops.
Sleep worked perfectly until Microsoft decided that device manufacturers should replace sleep with overheating in your bag (a much better sleep mode than, y'know, actual SLEEP).
Not sure what "modern UEFI features" means. Whenever something is described as "modern" that screams to me that someone is trying to conflate recentness with quality which is a red flag. UEFI itself has worked fine for as long as it has existed as far as I know?
Why you would replace the userland with "managed language frameworks" is quite beyond me.
That must be why Linux forums are full of VA-API tutorials and how to enable hardware decoding on Chrome then.

Depends on the board, some boards don't play ball with Linux distros.

Google has their reasons, as does LG, seems to work quite well in market share.
