Sadly the installer is still a bit annoying. On a 1366×768 display the whole thing doesn't fit on the screen, and when I selected my network, the installer crashed. For some reason there's no way to relaunch it from the GUI, so I had to bring it back up from a TTY.
If you're wondering why I was using such a low resolution, I wanted to test it on an old ThinkPad x220 of mine.
You guys never won a single war against Germany, sorry π
Not the guerre de la Ligue d'Augsbourg 1689, not the Napolean wars, not 1870, not 1914 (not really at lest, although that was a close one), not even 1940..
And you know what? I would still rather be French and share that kind of history than the warmongering Prussian thing we got caught up in, much against our will, at least here in the very west of Germany. Well, at least my hometown was French until 1815. Even today, people here look back on the time under French rule with a certain nostalgia.
Vanilla os orchid is the future and way to go after the dissapointing release of cosmic pop os…….vanilla os 2 is better for gaming than any other distro is very stable even on a gtx 1650 gpu this thing is stable in terms of fps ….well to each its own but vanilla os is the one distro that doesnt skip releases only to release a mess like lately
Great, another distro I will NEVER use, ever, at all… Android tried A/B schemes and the idea is pathetic, to say politely. It only tempt reckless developers to release broken software at will, because of the theorical idea you could always go back, which is not correct most of the times. Because, at least in Android, issues usually happen in user space, with stored configuration in the user home directory, which will break anything booting from both partitions, as the only really important thing, users data (/home), will not be duplicated for space reasons. TL;DR: Having multiple root partitions will only complicate everything and waste time and space while adding practically no reliability
I can't say I don't like Arch though, I have it installed but it usually fails. Just a few days ago it freeze my computer while playing games, hard reset and went back in playing and freeze again. Another hard reset and booted into Debian 12 and back into my game and played for hours without issue (Same game).
I tried distrobox one time to create a debian container for Citrix Workspace + Webex VDI. It failed beacause the webex deb needed a system deamon and that does not seem to work in a distrobox. anybody here with a tip to get this working ?
Personally, I'm not really interested. rpm-ostree already achieved most of these and they offer a TON of image options. The whole abroot thing is already a thing with how by default rpm-ostree has one previous image pinned.
The problem is just they're just late. They did a lot of work. I get that. But all it does is get them to same state as Universal Blue and BlendOS… Without support for other DEs. Meanwhile, the other two already have grown an ecosystem, resources, and active community. I just don't feel enough plus point compared to existing options.
I was pretty hyped before, but now that I've done and built my own image with uBlue's tools, I need more pluses to get off my lazy butt and try out yet another distro. One that doesn't even really want to support KDE.
If you still have the distro installed, could you please tell me if 1) keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + mouse for creating a new symlink in Wayland work or not (I have some doubts), and 2) can it be installed in dual boot (which I highly doubt)?"
Honestly, I feel like things are generally good enough on traditional distros that distros like this. Despite being really cool. They just aren't very compelling. The extra over head and complexity just aren't worth it. I have vorta which uses borg under hood for backups and that is all I need.
12:22 Thank you for actually including this criticism. Even if one was going to do an immutable distro NixOS is probably the most straightforward w/r/t reproducibility and whatnot. I will say that having a built in Android system makes this pretty nasty ngl.
I have never used linux in my life and i have basically no knowledge about linux. I love that you install android apks, is this distro friendly enough for beginners? its gonna be my first distro
How AppImages works in that case, like in any other system, you just have them somewhere on your home dir, and just run them as normal no matter you are now on A or B root? These containers are just like distrobox just make more user-friendly?

Don't worry, I won't forget Napoleon 1 and 2
But your tanks had mirrors, to see how the bfield slowly got smaller π
Nice review π

thanks for bringing Vanilla OS 2 Orchid to my attention.
Should've talked about how it's only gnome
So I can run OS/2 programs?
How can i run VS Code on this
As vs code requires it to be natively installed
And Can i do coding on this without any hassle ?
vanilla OS/2, just like IBM intended
7:35 I just barely count as Gen Z myself, and that genuinely made me laugh xDD
Absolutely no relation to OS/2.

Would probably have moved if only nvidia wasnt such a pain and my laptop having an nvidia card

I wish it had Cinnamon rather than Gnome. Oh well.
One thing that i dont like vanilla os is that its hard to install davinci resolve. That's why i went to bazzine π
Is there a KDE plasma version?
Gen Z and Alpha jokes are funny af π
(Looks at Vanilla OS 2, looks at Cosmic Desktop)
Oh yeah, it's all coming together.

Great video. As a Linux noob, I enjoyed learning about Vanilla OS. π
As a Gen Z, I have a pretty good attention span and don't need Subway Surfers gameplay. Thanks π
OMG Yes Debian > Arch, Stable system FTW!
I can't say I don't like Arch though, I have it installed but it usually fails. Just a few days ago it freeze my computer while playing games, hard reset and went back in playing and freeze again.

I would try/use it…BUT I HATE GNOME !!!
Have they got actual forums yet instead of discord? That was what made me switch off VanillaOS 1
If you still have the distro installed, could you please tell me if 1) keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + mouse for creating a new symlink in Wayland work or not (I have some doubts), and 2) can it be installed in dual boot (which I highly doubt)?"
It's easy to use, versarile, reliable and it looks nice. It is absolutely going to fail.

Holy Penguins!! Linux Subsystem within Linux? I didn't know this was a thing! π§
I have never used linux in my life and i have basically no knowledge about linux. I love that you install android apks, is this distro friendly enough for beginners? its gonna be my first distro
This seams like a very interesting Linux distribution. Open susa aeon is the other one I would like to have a closer look at.
How AppImages works in that case, like in any other system, you just have them somewhere on your home dir, and just run them as normal no matter you are now on A or B root? These containers are just like distrobox just make more user-friendly?
It almost seems like a user friendly version of Qubes.
That gen alpha joke was hilarious π
mad respect for the work they're doing on vanilla os
at this point it just needs wine
