Never really understood Vanilla OS. Why use this compared to other immutable distros like Fedora Silverblue?

You can run containers that are integrated such as android, arch, etc

Which isn’t an unique feature of VOS. You can do the same on Fedora Atomic or any other distro too with Distrobox and Waydroid.

BUT, I like VOS’ implemention. It’s nothing special, but still neat!

I’m a huge fan of Silverblue, but VanillaOS still looks pretty promising.

It doesn’t have much unique to offer imo, but it seems to be “the next Mint” in how I see it.

It has a similar philosophy (user friendliness and reliability), but kind of a different implementation.

Mint tries to archive that by looking similar to Windows UI-wise and being “stable” (in terms of a conservative release cycle).

VOS archieves that by looking simplistic (appealing to younger folks like myself) and being immutable + self managing.

Both are valid, but the key difference is that Mint is “old fashioned”, while VOS tries to use new technologies for it’s goals.

Better Distrobox tooling I think. Actually pretty cool, that has to be ported. Silverblue is the better base imho.

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.
