Personally, I'm not considering Vanilla OS just yet. It does too many things in a custom way. I am however keeping an eye on the project, since they have interesting ideas and they're making progress in the area of immutable distributions (which will be the future I figure).
Yeah in an it class I mentioned vanilla os and my teacher said the same thing
Wow, I'm mind blown. If you are remotely interested in that project, you should consider spending those 5 minutes to read the article.
For my part, I'm considering to contribute by translating and testing the beta.
It doesn't seem "better" than Fedora Silverblue, but I always found the communication lacking. The team behind VOS on the other hand feels very level headed and emphasizes strongly on communication, which I both don't see enough in the Linux community.
Of course, technically speaking, VOS isn't very revolutionary. Stuff like Distrobox, Waydroid and all the "other" things (Software center, etc.) existed before, but they weren't advertised enough.
In general, I really like their approach and the direction they are going. It really has the potential to surpass Linux Mint as the #1 beginner distro recommendation imo!
VanillaOS really is, imo a "next gen" linux distro. Look forward to seeing how they get on!
All of this looks very complicated. What advantages does this have over other immutable systems, like fedora silverblue or opensuse aeon?
This one is based on Debian
It also uses “abroot”, so it switches between root partitions with changes
Nice, support for Android apps is just casually mention almost as a side note 😎
Very cool. Had I not just installed (ublue) Kinoite, I'd probably be trying this today. I'm a chronic distrohopper, and this looks very cool.
I like how a system instead of specs is described with marketing terminology, "light, simplicity in mind" and this with ubuntu and systemd under the hood.
Alpine is light with simplicity in mind, anything that contains -buntu in its description is like a 1960s bus
@ashley ubuntu is, yes, a pseudo distribution with funky installer, fonts, themes, mix of non-free software, appealing to those who just want a cheap system without the will to learn much.
Bruh read before you reply. Vanilla OS is based on Debian, not Ubuntu. It used to be based on Ubuntu. Not anymore.
Also, vanilla os is absolutely light weight compared to what people are used to.
Hey this has nothing to do with OS/2. Seems kinda shady to embed the name of another known operating system into your own name?
It's a version name? The name of their OS is Vanilla OS and it's the second version.
That's a long list of changes, wow.
