From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Every time news about Vanilla comes out I get more and more excited. With immutable OSs starting to gain traction, they all feel a bit samey. Vanilla seems like a totally different beast. It feels new and exciting; something that's really shaking up the Linux space.

Admittedly, I'm not the most technically savvy about these kinds of things so I might be wrong.

Regardless, I'll keep watching with great interest.

Yeah, this sounds like a thing to try! It also sounds like there'll be a bit of a learning curve for me, but learning good tools is worth it, right?

Theyre always up to something, huh. Honestly that next update sounds amazing. Very impressive what theyve achieved so far. Kudos to the dev team!
