Never really understood Vanilla OS. Why use this compared to other immutable distros like Fedora Silverblue?
I’m a huge fan of Silverblue, but VanillaOS still looks pretty promising.
It doesn’t have much unique to offer imo, but it seems to be “the next Mint” in how I see it.
It has a similar philosophy (user friendliness and reliability), but kind of a different implementation.
Mint tries to archive that by looking similar to Windows UI-wise and being “stable” (in terms of a conservative release cycle).
VOS archieves that by looking simplistic (appealing to younger folks like myself) and being immutable + self managing.
Both are valid, but the key difference is that Mint is “old fashioned”, while VOS tries to use new technologies for it’s goals.

You can run containers that are integrated such as android, arch, etc
Which isn’t an unique feature of VOS. You can do the same on Fedora Atomic or any other distro too with Distrobox and Waydroid.
BUT, I like VOS’ implemention. It’s nothing special, but still neat!
Yeah but that’s true about any linux distro. if you can do it on one, you can most certainly do it on any others
agreed
Their package manager interest me. From what I’ve read it seems I can install any app from any distros repo and it’ll set up the container for me
Better Distrobox tooling I think. Actually pretty cool, that has to be ported. Silverblue is the better base imho.
