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!
That’s a long list of changes, wow.
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).
