have you had any issue with the samsung drivers missing? I'm thinking on installing this (the other option is endevour) in my 1st gen galaxy book pro 360 as a dual boot but I'm reading online about people complaining about samsung not making drivers for things like, audio, keyboard backlight, screen brightness settings and others. could you tell me your experience?
I watched this on Vanilla. For me this is the best distro ever. Certainly a lot better than Mint, which this channel seems to promote a lot. I have no interest in sideloading Android apps, so don't care if this does not work as claimed. I also prefer Gnome over KDE.
In virtualbox secureboot and efi system are two separate settings. Right click vm, settings, system tab, under extended features (below pointing device) there should be two seperate checkboxes, one for enable efi (keep this on) and one for secureboot (turn this off). Toggling one does not toggle the other.
GNOME Boxes, just like the desktop, is dumbed down to the point of uselessness. You actually have to edit a very long and convoluted configuration file just to do seemingly simple things like enable UEFI. It's why I tend to use VirtualBox most of the time, although it has its own set of problems. I think I do remember the installation process being very simple, but with more steps than you would normally expect, and honestly... very Windows-like. I was getting a bit irritated, annoyed and impatient myself, and honestly a bit pissed because of the similarity in feel to installing Windows. I won't be using it because I have no need for immutability and I hate GNOME, but I have to say that once you get done with the terrible multi-step Windows-like installation process and actually start *using* the OS, you'll find that their integration with GNOME seems very good.
One thing that I really do not like with that software shop is not being able to find NVidia graphics card drivers and for my work I need MySQL server and Apache HTTP server and cannot find either. Also that shop often ends up stalling which really bothers me. I rather run installation in a terminal instead of getting frustrated trying to find what isn't there. I tried Vanilla OS 1 many months ago, only used it for a few days. Reviewers on RUclips should do their reviews on actual hardware instead of VirtualBox. I ran into many issues on actual hardware.
I'm watching this as a VM is churning away in the background installing this thing. It's been about twenty minutes and those fans I never notice are just screaming away. I have no idea if it's going to work, probably not, but I ain't stopping now.
Everyone bad mouthing vanilla os orchid ....the best immutable distro so far....i installed it with no issues....one have to be extremely dumbed down not understanding how it all works on vanilla.
I had similar experiences. Had to reinstall multiple times, log info showed inconsistent messages, failed at various steps of the installation, mostly in partitioning. Wrote it off as a waste of time and a lost cause despite its good intentions.
Like Windows, it took over an hour to install? I call BS on the Windows installation time, since it typically takes me about 10 minutes to get to a functional desktop.
I been trying to move to Linux for sometime. I been playing in a vm but I can only get monitor to work at 60 hz. It's a gaming monitor that runs 240 hz on windows 11.
What distros have you tried? Wayland has better support for monitors than X11, and that's a big reason Wayland was developed as X11 was just old and archaic. It could also be a VM restriction you're running into as well. Maybe try running a live version of your distro of choice,and try setting the refresh and see if it takes .
Running in a VM and trying to use a higher resolution could be the issue. 1080p or 720p should be able to hit 60hz just fine on just about anything capable of virtualization at all today. Installing to bare metal could run into refresh rate issues if you're trying to run at 4K over HDMI due to the lack of HDMI 2.1 support (not Linux's fault, HDMI foundation's fault). Even my system which is more than capable of 4K120 will cap at 4K30 over HDMI on Linux, so I need to use DisplayPort and go through an adapter to connect to my TV. Anything 1440p or lower works just fine at 60+ over HDMI, though.
Secure boot strikes again. Vanilla wants to combine the package mixing of Bedrock Linux with the immutability and "graphicness" of NixOS. But why? Instead of expending all the time and effort to develop Vanilla, that time would be better spent repackaging software only available on some distros for Nix, so that it can be used on any distro - including of course immutable and graphic NixOS.
I struggle with the same. I guess the main feature for me is that it’s based on snapshots of Debian Sid in a a/b root and doesn’t install any bloat. Apart from that it’s mostly flatpaks, distrobox and a limited gui for your containers. Being able to use "apx ‘name’ install" instead of the package manager in your box is kinda neat, but seems very niche. I kinda like it, mostly cause I like debian anyway. What I don’t like about it is gnome.
1. i cant add repository when i install chrome on ubuntu container apx 2 when install complete i cant find aplication on $path when running app with apx ubuntu run , can you help me please.

This OS does NOT support Adaptec SAS controllers. So, if you use SAS controllers you'd better pass on this version. After reviewing numerous versions of Linux I always come back to Mint because it works and is much easier to configure.
"Immutable" = "I need someone else to put mechanisms in place to protect me from my own inexperience". It's the Linux equivalent of a kid's trainer wheels on a bicycle.
I like the security it provides from external parties. But it can be a headache trying to install things here and there. I broke the system installing grub Customizer. Lol. Both as an exported container app; and on the host-shell system. And coming from a distro like Mint; it feels weird being told by the system I can't do things as I'm not root. I research how to gain root access as we didn't set up root on install- do it. Make one change- and break the system XD Edit: to be clear the breakage is from how they have it set up. It doesn't like certain things changed like grub.cfg etc.
I've literally had Ubuntu (24) break itself running updates. UPDATES. On a FRESH install, through its own updater. I've experience similar in Manjaro (although just sneezing on your computer is enough to break that one). I've used everything from Slackware to Arch to Fedora to OpenSuse. If you can spare the disk space, there is absolutely nothing wrong with running an immutable distro. Can I fix things when they break? Sure. Can I always be arsed? Absolutely not. I have a life, and more hard drives than I can keep track of.
That's odd: to install the OS you need to enable the secure boot, but to use an especific app you need to disable it? But to disable it you need to reboot the machine! But the system need a secure boot to work! It's blows my mind.
@@darkwolf41nite53 It wouldn't be an obvious choice. Tails is designed to be a volatile system: you typically install it on a usb or disc, boot from that there, do what you need to in a single session, and then wipe the slate clean. While you can configure persistent storage and could probably jerry rig some way of installing games on that, it would be going against the design philosophy and intended use. As would installing it on an external drive, to be honest.
I loved vanilla OS 2, I am not a tecnical user by any means, but i'm loving the experience (installed in a Galaxy book pro)

Awesome. Glad it is working for you. I think it is a cool and compelling idea.
Hey is it good for normal everyday user. Like studying, writing, or watching movies etc. is it lightweight enough.
@@kprashanntt4603 It sure is!
Totally agree. Took a little big to get use the Gnome interface, but after a couple days I really like Gnome.
Vanilla is now my main OS and it really is the best distribution I have tried (including Mint).

For what its worth, I like the idea of Vanilla OS 2. If and when they finesse this distro it may have quite a brad appeal?
Linux has become so easy to install and manage. (I run Fedora 40 with Hyprland 0.39.1) Why struggle with this vanilla stuff?

Since 1997 I using KDE, since 1.0 version. I never like Gnome Desktop! KDE Plasma 6 on the other hand is amazing.

Then you aren't hardening windows.

Dude, this is a good approximation of what goes on every time I want to install an os. You can't win them all.

I don't get it. Feel like I could install/prep 8 separate virtual machines in whatever "normal" distro I like in less time.

There is no easy way to preserve your home partition! Awful!
I couldnt even start the iso since it had problem with AMDGPU Ryzen 7 7800X3D (Fatal error) :(
Curious. I am running Ryzen 5 with AMD graphics and I could start it....it just would not install.
Why Gnome 😩
That's odd: to install the OS you need to enable the secure boot, but to use an especific app you need to disable it? But to disable it you need to reboot the machine! But the system need a secure boot to work! It's blows my mind.
Secure boot can be disabled while still using EFI.
Anyone like tailsOS ? Just woundering
Of course
