Just ran across #VanillaOS #Linux (https://vanillaos.org/) which seems kinda-sorta like a Debian (formerly Ubuntu) spin on Fedora Silverblue & friends - a focus on immutability and (OCI) image-based updates.

They seem to pitch it as a desktop-focused distro but now I'm wondering how it would do for headless server-y things 🤔

Vanilla OS - is your next Operating System.

Vanilla OS is an operating system built with simplicity in mind. It's fast, lightweight, beautiful and ready for all your daily tasks.

@bitprophet seems very similar to what @UniversalBlue is doing, especially with #Bluefin. But so far I love using Bluefin. I do also love #Debian so might try VanillaOS on another computer or VM.

But yeah still looking to experiment with a headless immutable #homelab server OS that is, first of all, easy to install, and second, easy to manage (e.g. via Cockpit). I think Universal Blue’s #uCore does a lot of that but it’s confusing to install unless I’m just an idiot (likely).

@rae I can't keep all these fedora+ostree based blue-named entities straight, haha.
