I wanted to see what exactly is this project. There is no way to go back to vanillaos.org from handbook.vanillaos.org without manually editing the URL bar, at least on mobile. This is so frustrating.
- petercooper 4y agoFor the benefit of anyone else who did this too: Vanilla OS is an immutable and atomic Ubuntu Linux-based Point Release distribution, that receives updates at the right time, neither before nor after, without sacrificing security and functionality.
- actionfromafar 4y agoI wish much more in my life would be at the right time, neither before nor after.

- flkiwi 4y agoIt also has an almost absurdly calming and friendly visual brand. Arguably, that has nothing to do with the product but ... it also kinda does. I'm a Silverblue guy right now, and that has largely cured me of distro hopping, but NixOS and Vanilla continue to tempt.
- arcanemachiner 4y agoWait... Didn't they just switch from Ubuntu to Debian? EDIT: https://www.omglinux.com/vanilla-os-switch-to-debian/ https://www.omglinux.com/vanilla-os-switch-to-debian/
- yeahdef 4y agohey - you figured it out!
- countmora 4y agoIt is so frustrating when there is nothing at the top that forwards to the main page,e.g., a project name or logo. I managed it by clicking on the How to Install guide and then on the download image link.

- gary_0 4y agoYeah, this is a common problem I run into with blog.whatever, forum.whatever, or wiki.whatever pages. They never bother customizing Wordpress, MediaWiki, etc so that you can navigate to the main site. Fer chrissakes, the Web was more usable in 1998.

- CTDOCodebases 4y agoThe funny thing is even if you use the provided search funcion to ask that question nothing will come up. On a side note half the time I don't even understand what the project is. The descriptions are often buzzwords sandwiched in untethered abstractions.
- david2ndaccount 4y agoSince it is such a common need, maybe there should be a browser button for it instead of requiring every page to code their own?
