From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Still a shame it isn't based on the best distro in the world as it was initially planned.
EDIT: this was misinformation. Idk if I was hallucinating again or I confused it with another distro (e. g. BlendOS) but VanillaOS was never meant to be based on Arch.
Thanks for the EDIT because I thought I had really missed something.
I am addicted to Arch and the AUR but it is precisely that it is NOT Arch that makes Vanilla look attractive. Do I REALLY need multiple new kernels per month like Arch gives me?
Having a more stable base sounds like a great idea. Using containers to get access to the Arch repositories and the AUR on top of Debian sounds even better. Vanilla bakes support for that scenario right in.
People really don't get jokes anymore
I got your joke ( it was not subtle ). I have absolutely no idea why that would prevent me from making my comment.
OK but Debian is the best distro outside of this world.

Bruh I thought Arch jokes were obvious but ok
I'm afraid basing their distro off TempleOS would be a bit too hard.
OTOH one gets Holly C, so it might be worth.
It was planned to be based on Arch ~~btw~~ fyi.
Very curious. I didn't know this. I tried verifying this, but didn't manage to do so.
So, I got to ask; Was this just a joke? Or is there (some) truth to this claim?
I would take a lot of time to find. Search in old TLE videos I guess. If he made news about it, there should be links to the sources too.
