After more than a year in the works, Vanilla OS 2 “Orchid” has been released today for this Debian-based operating system built with simplicity in mind and offering a vanilla GNOME desktop experience.
Completely rewritten using OCI images and powered by Linux kernel 6.9, Vanilla OS 2 “Orchid” features a pure GNOME 46 desktop and includes a hybrid Debian base as the system has been transitioned from Ubuntu to a mix of Debian packages and Vib modules, which should offer users increased flexibility and control over updates and configuration.
Immutability and Atomicity huh? I had to look those ones up a little bit. :-) I read the article but it only just barely covers the details of what they mean in regards to the distro itself. I went to the VanillaOS website and looked some things up and it seems pretty cool.
The idea of having two root partitions (one to roll back on) in case something goes wrong with your first one I like and I find re-assuring. It verifies itself at start-up so that if something has gone wrong, it suggests that you roll back to a version of your OS that you have that is good. The disks are encrypted by default which makes your system even more safe and they say you can install .deb packages and flatpacks along with other stuff.
It takes up more HD space because of the two root partitions and such. They suggest 50gigs of HD space and 8gigs of RAM if you're installing it to a USB have at least 8 gigs of space on it. I'm going to download it and install it on my USB and see what it's like..
I haven't seen any other distros talk about Immutability and Atomicity before like this before, it's interesting.
