After much work we are ready to present you Legendary DE 🎉! The new desktop environment written entirely in C# and .NET!
Legendary DE is designed for stability, responsiveness and to adapt to devices of all sizes. It will make its debut in Vanilla OS 2.0, replacing GNOME.
Today we reached a big milestone!
Managed to install Orchid on bare metal, we are very proud of what we achieved in these hard months.
We are investigating crashes with gnome and fix. bugs in ABRoot, there is still work to be done but the result is amazing.

The sideload app we are working on, allows you to install .deb and .apk packages, inside the Vanilla OS subsystems, in an easy way.
Packages are separated from the system but always integrated 😎

Vanilla OS 2.0 is getting a lot of development. In recent weeks we have developed 7 new projects between system components and platforms. As well as rewriting ABRoot from scratch for OCI image support.

The Vanilla OS Orchid - Devlog 19 Nov is out now!
We are excited to announce that we have recently completed the Waydroid integration with F-Droid support in VSO.

Vanilla OS and
@blend_os
are now friends. There were some misunderstanding which involved in bad discussions over the time but today we are here to demonstrate once again how Open source is driven by the spirit of collaboration and friendship.
Our collaboration starts today 🤝
During the first 24 hours of beta, we reached 13196 downloads. This is the number of Vanilla OS 2 Beta pulls. A sensational number considering that it has already grown further. This shows the enormous interest in the project and we are satisfied. 🤟
Regarding the Flatpak issue in Ubuntu flavors, we want to reassure you that these are only the official flavors and that we have no intention of adopting Snap as a replacement for Flatpak or remove Flatpak at all. Nothing will change.

Orchid will bring a breath of fresh air, not only for Vanilla users but for every context and need.
Vanilla OS 2.0 consists of two images: core and desktop. The Core image is the heart of the project and is used for the realization of the official version of Vanilla OS, the..🧵

Hey everyone, the development of Vanilla OS 2.0 Orchid has begun!
Yes, you read it right, I wrote 2.0 and Orchid. There is so much we need to talk about. 👀
Dear anonymous donators on Liberapay: we're sorry we didn't notice the transactions until today. Indeed Liberapay is not sending a notification for each donation (unlilike GHS) and the weekly report was deactivated for some reason.

Receiving 10$ via GitHub Sponsor, that uses Stripe as a payment gateway, results in 8.82€ - the 11.8% is lost in fees.
We must declare the income via our company, this means we have to give another 22% in taxes -> 6.87€
Then we must give another 24% of any profit 💸
Crazy.

Last hours we have been overwhelmed with messages on all our channels. We have not been able to read everything but thank you all for the support regarding Orchid. We are busy with preparations for the SCaLEx20 for which we want to thank the Linux Foundation for sponsoring us 🫶
We just updated our website. The recent fixes should have solved the problems with adblockers, some minor issues on mobile and improved speed like...a lot!
ABRoot v2 is not only responsible for the system update, but is also a package manager, fstab, grub, and states (overlay that you can use to make one or more system paths writable temporarily or permanently.
Orchid will be a very ambitious release 😎
ISO 22.10-r8 is out!
This release freezes the development of Vanilla OS 22.10 Kinetic. We started working on the next major release. We will continue to provide security updates and minor fixes.
desktop version with GNOME, but it can also be used to make new flavors such as the KDE edition, XFCE etc.
It will also be possible to create real derivatives rich in features and customizations according to your needs. Just create your own variant and tell ABRoot to use..
What if we provide a different method(s) that would ensure you that more money is coming to the project instead of taxes? I'm thinking about SEPA for European entities and Revolut (for example) for extra CEE entities.
Would you be comfortable with that?

In this month's LinuxFormat magazine, I cover the excellent Vanilla OS, the techniques it uses to enable as much security and stability as possible and how to install it.

Core is built on top of Pico and provides a version of Vanilla OS with all its core components (ABRoot, Apx, VSO..) It's a Vanilla, even more vanilla. Can also be used to build flavors such as KDE, i3..
Additionally, a hypothetical server version could also be built using Core
Good news about yesterday’s topic: just had a call with our tax consultant and looks like I wrongly considered the initial 22% in the calcs. Indeed I have to consider that 22% only if the money comes directly from an Italian entity!
Italians: please use Liberapay 😬

The structure of Orchid is very different from 22.10. It's built using images instead of a old fashioned approach.
Pico is a minimal Debian image built using debootstrap and the Vanilla OS repositories. It can be used to obtain a dev environment or build a Core image.
