Discord?
Eh! If this is the only community place, then thanks no.
You could make discord <--> IRC bot. Problem solved :D
Ideally matrix to discord bridge and matrix to irc bridge.
Irc servers don't have the feature set that inknow of for good community management and centeringbaround discord is a terrible plan. Matrix being the hub means you can have encrypted channels for that it matters for.
Your couldn't throw us a bone by including a link? 😉
That's okay, I got you covered.

Ok. So why are we having what looks like a plumaria flower to represent a vanilla OS?
Do you need a picture of a vanilla flower?
Vanilla flowers can look similar to their logo.
No they dont.
Not even close.
The flower in the logo is a radially symmetrical five petaled flower, with overlapping petals in a whorl. A vanilla flower is a bilaterally symmetrical three petaled flower with a fused labellum/ and column. They look nothing alike.
The Vanilla flower picture I posted is from April and is literally growing on a Plumaria (which the logo obviously is). I'm going to walk outside and edit this response and add a picture from that Plumaria.
So… immutable fork of Ubuntu 21?
A fork of Debian, but yes.
Orchid is also a medical term for testicle
Vanilla Ball
Vanilla is a genus of orchids.
what's the immutability / atomic mechanism for this? not ostree or btrfs like fedora and opensuse's offerings? All I see is A/B partitioning listed? something more akin to android?
Read this for the most complete and comprehensive answer on the matter.
TL;DR: Like Fedora Atomic, it utilizes OCI images for its immutability. However, while Fedora Atomic combines this with libostree/OSTree for git-like management of your system, Vanilla OS (instead) keeps it relatively simple with just A/B partioning; which indeed is somewhat reminiscent to what's found on Android.
This looks interesting but so different from what I’m used to that I’ll stick to my BTRFS snapshot-based system until I understand it better. Perhaps I’ll try it in a VM.
Yay!!! Vanilla is an awesome OS. I tried the first version and loved it. Unfortunately, I couldn’t use it because it was missing FDE, but this new version added that. :D
LFG!!!!
How are they handling things that need low level access and don't work well in distrobox like pen tablet drivers, CoreCtrl/undervolting software, printer drivers, etc...?
