Vanilla OS is a Independent-family Linux distribution based on Debian Sid / OCI Containers. Next-gen immutable, container-based desktop with ABRoot atomic updates and multi-distro package support.
Strengths: Unbreakable immutable root: updates apply to inactive partition; Can run apt, dnf, pacman, and apk inside isolated containers; Zero vanilla GNOME modifications. Trade-offs: Radically different paradigm from traditional Linux; Steeper learning curve for managing root changes.
