The logo claims to be a vanilla flower but clearly isn't. Pass until they fix that.

The vanilla flower was release 1
This is "Vanillaos Orchid"
In theory, there's a wide choice of software. As well as Flatpaks, Vanilla OS also has built-in support for Alpine, Debian, Fedora, Arch, and openSUSE packages via its own package-management wrapper called Apx… and it also claims support for the AppImage format, and an Android runtime based on Waydroid.
However, we couldn't get anything except Debian packages working in our testing.
this is a very bleeding-edge experimental distro, and in practice, we found it felt unfinished and not fully working.
I'll pass for now.
Hmm, that's weird.
I got everything working.
If they can do what they claim then it's pretty damn cool. But from what it sounds like it's got a lot of growing to do before it gets to what they claim.
I'll pass but keep an eye on it.
