Vanilla OS 3 Reunion - Immutable and Reproducible Operating System
Show HN: Vanilla OS 3 Reunion – Immutable and Reproducible Operating System
Vanilla OS 3 Reunion is a major update to the immutable Linux distribution, now supporting ARM64 devices and offering reproducible builds for enhanced security. It features GNOME 50, a fresh desktop experience with new default apps, and introduces Vanilla Continuity for snapshot-based backups. The update also brings rewritten Apx and VSO tools, Distrobox v2 compatibility, and a new SDK, making it simpler, more stable, and more secure for users across architectures.
Our mission remains the same: to make Vanilla OS simple, stable and secure. With Reunion, we're bringing users together across architectures, and offering everyone an experience that works out of the box.

Really cool project. I think it's nice that there's so many small, experimental distros out that are just trying stuff and seeing what works and what doesn't.
If we (maybe through where freedestop is moving) can figure out a stable ABI, gui toolkit, application security / malware like behavior resistance (like what Ubuntu is trying with permission popups) and advanced desktop features integration story for software vendors on top of all of this, the direction the Linux Desktop is going in is looking bright.

I used to use Vanilla OS on an older system. I remember it bogging down in part due to all the snaps and flatpaks.
