VanillaOS distro (NOT the VanillaPUP found on the forum) just got a very intersting reiew -
Even though it has a Live Mode and can be booted via either Ventoy or SGF2D from its ISO file, it is unlike any forum distros in how it handles Persistence Management and applications. It has a persistence management akin to a discussion in the KL section on continuous backup session management using alternates.
Persistence ONLY WILL exist when the distro is installed. It appears to install in a 3 partition configuration.
Its uniqueness goes beyond the installed configuration; rather what makes it DESIRABLE is its Package Management system which will install a package from every known major source we know of except
PETs
SNAPs
Portables
And in review of their forum they may be open to adding a PET feature to their Package Manager in the future.
They can also be found on GIT, here.
This OS may influence other distros to copy in the future.
