Got a huge dickover for cookies. The reject button didn't work.
Really... do you need to track people anyway for this?

Does this offer anything over fedora silver blue

Vanilla OS is built on Debian sid, which follows a rolling release model rather than Fedora's point-release approach. We achieve immutability through our own ABRoot implementation, which directly leverages OCI container images under the hood, unlike OSTree. Vanilla OS is also reproducible, whereas Fedora requires you to place trust in its build infrastructure. Additionally, with Vib (Vanilla Image Builder), anyone can customize their own system image, or even create their own distro with minimal effort.

Tuxedo settled for Testing. Reason for Sid?

This sounds very intriguing! Been using Aurora (Universal Blue) for years, but there's always a package or two you need to layer. Updates have crapped out more than once because of these packages. Been thinking that an easier way of creating custom images is the solution.
uBlue images are not effortless to create and maintain. Just installed plain Fedora two days ago for this reason.
Vanilla being GNOME by default has kept me from trying it. Plasma is so darn good these days.

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

I have the same experience, despite the vanilla in name the OS was shitting itself on older computer. I miss the ClearLinux from Intel that ran really smooth.

Bogging down? I've been on almost 100% Flapaks for years and have never noticed any adverse effects.

That person shared their experience. How is that invalid?
