I always assumed it was called Vanilla because its a standard base that you can build something more interesting and customized on top of (using their vib image builder tool).

[@LithiumAndDietSoda]

Its rare that a new distro actually feels like bringing something new to the table rather than forking an already existing distro while changing one weird thing and slapping on a custom theme. This might be my next distro hop.

I have had cases where it broke either by my own fault (deleting old timeshift before confirming everything is fine), just over time (some updates are problematic and doesn't immediately break stuff), or just bypassed it altogether in the case of something more severe like the GRUB breakage. In the case of Atomic distro, if the update process fails or you didn't boot to the new image, you just... Don't get the update. You boot to the same old update. Plus, you can simply just make your own image, shifting risks to a simple to setup github image builder repo.

Don't underestimate creature comfort features. Just because I can do stuff by hand doesn't mean I don't appreciate the handholding some distros offer. Back when I started on Linux in 1998, I had a book and several hours to tinker. Now I have stuff to do and little time. So I'm fine using Mint as my daily driver, it does all I need without getting in the way.

[@nicejungle]

I tend to agree. It's been 14 years I use linux, I'm still running on ubuntu like a n00b for the everyday tasks😂 And running docker containers for serious stuff (development go/js/php/python/c++/CUDA)

Universal Blue project looks more promising honestly (Aurora & Bazzite distros). Not only does it have KDE and is more popular, but it is also directly based on Fedora Atomic. Meaning if the project gets abandoned you can just rebase your system onto Fedora and drop the Aurora/Bazzite changes without having to reinstall your OS. This is very valuable when it comes to these "small team of volunteers" projects. Still, as someone who loves immutable systems I want VanillaOS to succeed.

He's not wrong though, because running something in a VM doesn't exactly replicate real-world experiences and can hide things that wouldn't be apparent to people planning on installing it on hardware (the Nvidia X11 thing, for example).

[@sebastianbauer4768]

That‘s just irresponsible. What are you going to do if the 4 people this project relies on to exist get hit by a bus? Transition your customer machines to Debian Sid which this is based on? Or what if they do poor quality control? You have no control over when updates are pushed to customers, wouldn’t you want to internally test updates before pushing them to customers? Just built your own OCI images at GitHub based on an actual stable distribution channel like fedora. Ublue for example has templates that you can easily adjust, add your own apps to and actually test before pushing them to customers. I’d use use the oldstable Fedora(current version - 1), that still gets security fixes but has all actual bugs fixed and will give you a smooth transition to newer versions. You also get to pick the desktop environment. I wouldn’t choose gnome, your customers will pimp it via extensions to get a desktop they are used to and yell at you when the extensions break due to updates, which they will. Here: github.com/ublue-os/image-template

I'm new to Linux and use Ubuntu on my laptop. Id love to just install everything even android apps without all the work around. I do understand why it works like this but I'm hoping one day it is easier and we could install anything without all the work around. I am just a consumer of Linux, I don't use it for coding or anything like that. I am a half convert from windows. I feel that if there were a distro that would, out of the box, would just install anything without the extra steps Linux would grow and become a great OS that could really contend with mac and windows. I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense I just know that windows converts sometimes run into these issues. I myself like to tinker and will give anything a try. I'm just speaking for those out there that just want out of the box ease. I could have easily been someone like that.

[@turboheadcrab666]

Have you looked into Bazzite yet? It has a similar paradigm to this distro, but also it's pre-configured for everyday use. I have been running it rather smoothly for the last few months.

Aside from a minor gotcha this has been my favorite district so far. (there’s basically a three stage installer, so you’ll end up selecting your language and keyboard layout three times for some reason. It looks like you’re done setting it up after the second stage, but it’s a false summit. Do the last set up wizard, and then you’re done.) I fully didn’t expect this to work on my especially picky, old laptop, but it’s going strong! Added bonus, my laptop finally doesn’t sound like it’s trying to take off at all times, only sometimes. It’s fantastic.

Vanilla OS reminds me of Qubes OS, just with containers instead of xen virtual machines, and with a nicer GUI but less control. As you said, this isn't fit for a beginner, but seems like a good introduction to compartmentalization that a techy user would find nice, while Qubes OS brings a lot more control but also a few more struggles depending how you look at it.

That update system is awesome, Id replace Timeshift for that

I'm a happy user of Debian stable, the only time it's given me grief was after I accidentally turned off my laptop halfway through an apt full-upgrade.

[@prgnify]

I guess OpenSUSE erasure is real... Tinfoil hat off, Vanilla looks really good! I disagree with one thing tho., imo immutable linux distributions are even better for unsophisticated linux users than for advanced ones, simply because of how much they reduce the odds of the user breaking things. Of course there is a spectrum, and I 100% agree BlendOS is sort of "for advanced users only", but Vanilla and Aeon and EasyOS are perfectly usable without even knowing what Linux is. After all, that is the whole idea behind Immutable OSs, just take the OS out from the equation, which is why Chrome OS and the Steam Deck can be shipped *en masse* being sold to end users.

I actually think that VanillaOS is a worthy consideration for new Linux users and non-tech-savvy individuals (especially for users with basic needs who can live completely off of the web browser, Flatpaks, and Android APKs). The "smart updates" feature strikes me as a big selling point for regular users who dont want to deal with managing system updates themselves (but also don't want to be interrupted by automatic updates [yes, I know offline updates exist, but they are still an inferior solution]), and the A/B partition scheme is a simple but fantastic way to ensure that a broken update doesn't leave them stranded (as long as it's easy/intuitive to boot into the inactive slot). VanillaOS is exactly the kind of distro I'd want to put on our family computer, so if it turns out to be as solid as I hope it is, that might be what I do when Windows 10 gets discontinued.

[@LastSecBloomer]

Exactly why I'm considering using one such distro for my 67-yr old mother's PC. She would only use it for stuff like Facebook, KZbin, internet and movies, stuff that Flathub covers just fine and there's much less chance for her to break something on an immutable distro, not to mention ease of maintenance...

I like the way Windows 11 apples the updates on new laptop computers. It detects the usage hours (you can set it manually) and then as soon as you close the lid of the laptop the PC doesn't suspend, but it installs the updates. For example, when I close the laptop and go to sleep, (while on power) the laptop applies the updates and reboots finishes the update and suspends. The next day it's ready to use, I don't remember the last time I manually installed an update.

[@retrocomputing]

Yeah that worked great with crowdstrike

[@godtable]

@retrocomputing I personally was never elected. I don't run programs in kernel mode. Besides that, Linux was elected too, a few months back. It's not a competition. Microsoft applies automatically the updates after they've been tested by a lot of enthusiasts. I am not one of them anymore. But the stability is very good lately. They focus so much on AI(witch we don't get in EU), so they leave the os nice and stable :)

Modern Android devices use the A/B partition style of updates. It's not that hard to understand.
