Vanilla OS, a fixed-release distribution based on Debian (formerly Ubuntu, prior to version 2) with the GNOME desktop, is an immutable operating system. The core parts of the system are locked down to prevent unwanted changes and corruption from third-party applications or a faulty update.
To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
Colour scheme:green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

J'attendais cette deuxième itération avec impatience!
Une debian-immutable (malheureusement encore avec systemD) mais esthétiquement attrayante & prête à faire tourner les App Androïd dès l'origine...
Malheureusement, le premier écran m'indique une erreur comme quoi il y aurait un problème UEFI...
Je ne sais donc pas aller plus loin... et n'ai pas reçu d'aide pour ce problème.
A suivre
-------------------------
I've been looking forward to this second iteration!
A debian-immutable (unfortunately still with systemD) but aesthetically appealing & ready to run Android Apps right out of the box...
Unfortunately, the first screen shows me an error saying there's a UEFI problem...
So I can't go any further... and haven't received any help for this problem.

Works fine, with no issues.
Comparing to the previous versions, apx gui app seems to be working as it should do (This app worked really bad before, in alpha versions of vanilla os 2, now everything is ok)
By the way, installation process was pretty slow for me, but the installation and first setup itself worked fine.
I also like that they use gnome installer, it looks great in GNOME desktop
So, I think it's really on of the best distros to experience vanilla gnome desktop. But, ofc, it's not really good for the beginners, but would be great as 2-3rd distro
I didn't use it during its initial version, but the Vanilla OS 2 performs fantastically on my hardware.
The exceptions are the installation and configuration processes. It's not very informative about what it's doing, and it can take a lot of time, depending on your connection. However, you can install a plethora of stuff during the configuration period and do your work as usual - if you'd like. There are some quirks here and there during this period.
Otherwise, it's a solid Gnome experience on Debian base. Everything works out of the box.
I sincerely believe this OS will have a bright future.
