Vanilla OS 22.10<\/b><\/a> is a new Ubuntu-based Linux OS, using the GNOME 43.1 Desktop: ‘Designed to last over time and always be faithful to you. Vanilla OS is an immutable and atomic Ubuntu Linux-based Point Release distribution, that receives updates at the right time, neither before nor after, without sacrificing security and functionality<\/i>‘. It uses the latest stable<\/u> Linux Kernel ‘n has an ‘integrated driver management, whether it’s an AMD\u00ae, Intel\u00ae, or NVIDIA\u00ae GPU<\/i>‘. I had a NVIDIA GPU and installing the driver was a breeze. Lots of interesting new options are offered, e.g., the Apx package manager, a utility which can install software from multiple distributions, such as Arch Linux, Fedora, Ubuntu.<\/p>\n

    <\/span>Installation<\/span><\/h2>\n

    There are all kinds of Linux OSes out there, and I enjoy testing ‘n watching how a new Distro develops over time.<\/p>\n

    Great documentation, and was easy to follow \u2014 Vanilla Handbook<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

    I downloaded the VanillaOS-22.10-all.20221229.iso<\/strong> from DistroWatch<\/b><\/a> & also from the Vanilla OS<\/b><\/a> site. Used Ventoy<\/a> on one ‘n Etcher<\/a> on the other to create the bootable USB’s.<\/p>\n

    Installation took only 2-minutes<\/u>, but post installation setup & updates took longer.<\/p>\n

    As mentioned, there are ‘all kinds of Linux OSes out there<\/i>‘ \u2014 and will add to that fact that there is also all kinds of Linux Package Managers out there. Linus Torvalds says Fragmentation is Why Linux Hasn\u2019t Succeeded on Desktop<\/b><\/a>: \u2018I still wish we were better at having a standardize desktop that goes across all the distributions \u2026 It\u2019s more of a personal annoyance how the <\/i>fragmentation<\/b><\/u><\/i> of the different vendors have, I think, held the desktop back a bit \u2026 It seems to be that Chromebooks and Android are the paths towards the desktop<\/i>‘.<\/p>\n
