Not a noob distro. The whole point of this system is to use containers. You don't know anything about vanilla os, don't give impressions for something you don't know.
i think the little suitcase thing in the gnome bar is the software store. Idk how to use immutable stuff personally. So idk what the best practices would be with something like this. Maybe at some point I'll mess with nix or something, but it seems like a lot of work to really know how to do it properly with that. I do think the point you made about learning, about your operating system, or i guess kind of question about it. Is something to keep in mind. I think for a lot of people, the more normie types. They definitely don't want to have to learn any of this stuff. So it might be good to get those people into linux in the long run. Since it would take out one of the major things some people view as a negative. For someone like me, I'm grateful that sometimes doing things on linux aren't that easy. A least not with some of the paths I've chosen to go down. I think its good for people to really understand what they are doing when they use a computer, rather than just letting it do whatever in the background while you use it. I mean, its fine that not everyone want's to do that. I just think overall learning more about this stuff is a net positive.
@@_BLANK_BLANK yea like probably 60% of the Linux stuff I've learned is from my machine breaking or me making drastically bad decisions lol. It's a process. Don't be afraid of nix, to do a basic setup is pretty easy you just gotta learn where to list your packages. Obviously you can go deeper like home manager and flakes but for a basic setup it's easy. Nix is pretty cool however the people in charge of it are mentally unwell. So there's that
@@jdanks yeah. I think when i dive into nix I want to go all the way. Which is part of why I'm putting it off. Also I've still be spending my free time getting dwm nice and riced up, and how I like it. So it will for sure need to be after I'm done working on that. As far as the people that work on it. I have heard about it. For me personally, for my own mental health, and to be able to just try cool stuff and not worry about it. I really don't put any stock into how good, bad, crazy or sane the devs are. Life's too short to worry about all of that.
@@_BLANK_BLANK Im just concerned about the viability of the project when it comes to crazy devs. It pushes other devs away from the project and realistically nixos is a jumble of different programming languages so you need as many devs as you can get for something like that. Same thing is going on at the gnome project. Both from what I understand are suffering financially. Not a good look for the future. I'm sure someone will clean up the code base of nix and fork it eventually
@@jdanks yeah. Thats usually how it goes in the foss space when a project goes down like that. If the core program is good, or a good idea. Even if the project fails due to finances or bad management, someone will fork it and keep it going.

Doesn't use tty to install. Uses a GUI to install = noob distro, comes with gnome which includes a GUI package manager. How is it not a noob distro?
What an elitist comment. Vanilla OS is definetely a beginner friendly distro.
This dips*** also left a comment almost exactly like this on Linux hub video on vanilla os.
Os 2 is based on debian
