memes aside it does look pretty neat - simple .apk installs, yaml system configs, automatic boot rollback, easy multi-gpu support - all solid user focused features - will have to see how it develops but so far it seems like a better alternative to the likes of PopOS
The day has come! I have been pretty excited for this release since Vanilla OS 2 was announced. I will have to try it out as soon as I can
Exciting. I’ll have to give it a spin on my hardware
Tbh it is a solid story about the os. I’m using silverblue but it made me curious.
Mmm looks very interesting, I will give this a try.
Still a shame it isn’t based on the best distro in the world as it was initially planned.
EDIT: this was misinformation. Idk if I was hallucinating again or I confused it with another distro (e. g. BlendOS) but VanillaOS was never meant to be based on Arch.
I’m afraid basing their distro off TempleOS would be a bit too hard.
OTOH one gets Holly C, so it might be worth.
It was planned to be based on Arch
btwfyi.Very curious. I didn’t know this. I tried verifying this, but didn’t manage to do so.
So, I got to ask; Was this just a joke? Or is there (some) truth to this claim?
I would take a lot of time to find. Search in old TLE videos I guess. If he made news about it, there should be links to the sources too.
Thanks for the EDIT because I thought I had really missed something.
I am addicted to Arch and the AUR but it is precisely that it is NOT Arch that makes Vanilla look attractive. Do I REALLY need multiple new kernels per month like Arch gives me?
Having a more stable base sounds like a great idea. Using containers to get access to the Arch repositories and the AUR on top of Debian sounds even better. Vanilla bakes support for that scenario right in.
People really don’t get jokes anymore
I got your joke ( it was not subtle ). I have absolutely no idea why that would prevent me from making my comment.
