I like how a system instead of specs is described with marketing terminology, "light, simplicity in mind" and this with ubuntu and systemd under the hood.
Alpine is light with simplicity in mind, anything that contains -buntu in its description is like a 1960s bus
@ashley ubuntu is, yes, a pseudo distribution with funky installer, fonts, themes, mix of non-free software, appealing to those who just want a cheap system without the will to learn much.
Personally, I’m not considering Vanilla OS just yet. It does too many things in a custom way. I am however keeping an eye on the project, since they have interesting ideas and they’re making progress in the area of immutable distributions (which will be the future I figure).
Wow, I’m mind blown. If you are remotely interested in that project, you should consider spending those 5 minutes to read the article.
For my part, I’m considering to contribute by translating and testing the beta.
It doesn’t seem “better” than Fedora Silverblue, but I always found the communication lacking. The team behind VOS on the other hand feels very level headed and emphasizes strongly on communication, which I both don’t see enough in the Linux community.
Of course, technically speaking, VOS isn’t very revolutionary. Stuff like Distrobox, Waydroid and all the “other” things (Software center, etc.) existed before, but they weren’t advertised enough.
In general, I really like their approach and the direction they are going. It really has the potential to surpass Linux Mint as the #1 beginner distro recommendation imo!
Heh I figured as much, it was just on my mind because I saw an article yesterday that the OS/2 archive is being shut down soon. It was one of my first attempts to escape Windows but it never quite made the cut.
