Has anyone used Vanilla OS here? It seems really interesting, would like to get some opinions.

It sounds really cool, but I’ve honestly had issues installing it on two PCs now on two separate occasions separated by a couple months. Issues I didn’t have installing Ubuntu. The installer would fail to complete. I’m not a Linux power user, and while I tried debugging for a few hours, I gave up.

Interesting. I might give it a go in a VM. I’m also waiting for the new DE from Pop!_OS, too may options lol

I’ve been waiting for a beta of the Debian-based version. The Ubuntu-based version seemed to run reasonably well on my old Thinkpad T460, but I didn’t try too much serious stuff on it that I don’t already do on regular Debian with Distrobox.

I tried it briefly, but it doesn’t/didn’t support disk encryption. For my laptop this is a must, so I’ll wait until it is implemented and out of alpha.

Why would you want an immutable desktop?
