vanilla OS this is probably one of the vanilla OS this is probably one of the more requested Linux distributions that more requested Linux distributions that more requested Linux distributions that I go ahead and take a look at and one of I go ahead and take a look at and one of I go ahead and take a look at and one of the main reasons for this is how truly the main reasons for this is how truly the main reasons for this is how truly unique the operating system actually is unique the operating system actually is unique the operating system actually is it is based on Ubuntu but it is not your it is based on Ubuntu but it is not your it is based on Ubuntu but it is not your typical Ubuntu spin-off where maybe they typical Ubuntu spin-off where maybe they typical Ubuntu spin-off where maybe they changed the desktop environment and do a changed the desktop environment and do a changed the desktop environment and do a customization here and there this customization here and there this customization here and there this distribution can be compared to distribution can be compared to distribution can be compared to something like Fedora silver blue which something like Fedora silver blue which something like Fedora silver blue which we have checked out previously on this we have checked out previously on this we have checked out previously on this channel and that's because the actual channel and that's because the actual channel and that's because the actual file system structure the thing is file system structure the thing is file system structure the thing is immutable and there are other tools and immutable and there are other tools and immutable and there are other tools and whatnot to help you manage that and you whatnot to help you manage that and you whatnot to help you manage that and you could actually use packages from could actually use packages from could actually use packages from different operating systems other than different operating systems other than different operating systems other than Ubuntu such as Fedora and Arch Linux but Ubuntu such as Fedora and Arch Linux but Ubuntu such as Fedora and Arch Linux but before we get too far let's back up a before we get too far let's back up a before we get too far let's back up a little bit and talk about the little bit and talk about the little bit and talk about the immunability factor this is gaining immunability factor this is gaining immunability factor this is gaining popularity as such distributions are popularity as such distributions are popularity as such distributions are standardized so they are basically standardized so they are basically standardized so they are basically identical on every single setup this identical on every single setup this identical on every single setup this enhances security because it makes it enhances security because it makes it enhances security because it makes it difficult for some bad acting program to difficult for some bad acting program to difficult for some bad acting program to go ahead and actually affect the core go ahead and actually affect the core go ahead and actually affect the core components of your system such as the components of your system such as the components of your system such as the kernel as a it cannot be altered extra kernel as a it cannot be altered extra kernel as a it cannot be altered extra packages are installed in a separate packages are installed in a separate packages are installed in a separate section from the main system often in section from the main system often in section from the main system often in its own containerized instances when its own containerized instances when its own containerized instances when updating vanilla iOS handles us using a updating vanilla iOS handles us using a updating vanilla iOS handles us using a tool called a b root a b root keeps two tool called a b root a b root keeps two tool called a b root a b root keeps two separate states of your system you have separate states of your system you have separate states of your system you have your present and your future and when your present and your future and when your present and your future and when something new is packaged for example a something new is packaged for example a something new is packaged for example a kernel is added to the Future State and kernel is added to the Future State and kernel is added to the Future State and then that will not change until your then that will not change until your then that will not change until your system reboots making the future State system reboots making the future State system reboots making the future State the present now when it comes to the present now when it comes to the present now when it comes to installing packages using a package installing packages using a package installing packages using a package system like dnf apt Pac-Man this often
-
system like dnf apt Pac-Man this often system like dnf apt Pac-Man this often installs binaries and other required installs binaries and other required installs binaries and other required files in root system directories this is files in root system directories this is files in root system directories this is a disadvantage because then it becomes a disadvantage because then it becomes a disadvantage because then it becomes difficult to tell which components are difficult to tell which components are difficult to tell which components are part of the stock system in which were part of the stock system in which were part of the stock system in which were added by third-party programs thus added by third-party programs thus added by third-party programs thus complicating troubleshooting and even complicating troubleshooting and even complicating troubleshooting and even causing some security concerns now we've causing some security concerns now we've causing some security concerns now we've already been presented with some already been presented with some already been presented with some solutions such as snap flat packs and solutions such as snap flat packs and solutions such as snap flat packs and app Images flat pack being my preference app Images flat pack being my preference app Images flat pack being my preference is the default package distribution is the default package distribution is the default package distribution system within vanilla OS and the system within vanilla OS and the system within vanilla OS and the packages can be be found through the packages can be be found through the packages can be be found through the genome software center now this could genome software center now this could genome software center now this could pose an issue as not everything is pose an issue as not everything is pose an issue as not everything is available as a flat pack and there will available as a flat pack and there will available as a flat pack and there will be some things you want to install be some things you want to install be some things you want to install through your typical repository package through your typical repository package through your typical repository package manager and this is where apx comes in manager and this is where apx comes in manager and this is where apx comes in like apt you use the command line to like apt you use the command line to like apt you use the command line to install various packages native to your install various packages native to your install various packages native to your base distribution in this case being base distribution in this case being base distribution in this case being Ubuntu but the key difference with apx Ubuntu but the key difference with apx Ubuntu but the key difference with apx is it will create individual containers is it will create individual containers is it will create individual containers for your packages and install all the for your packages and install all the for your packages and install all the dependencies within that container dependencies within that container dependencies within that container restricting access to your system restricting access to your system restricting access to your system resources while still being able to use resources while still being able to use resources while still being able to use the same drivers display server Etc now the same drivers display server Etc now the same drivers display server Etc now a really cool thing we kind of mentioned a really cool thing we kind of mentioned a really cool thing we kind of mentioned this earlier about apx is you are able this earlier about apx is you are able this earlier about apx is you are able to add Flags such as dash dash Aur or to add Flags such as dash dash Aur or to add Flags such as dash dash Aur or dash dash dnf which will create dash dash dnf which will create dash dash dnf which will create containers based on those systems containers based on those systems containers based on those systems allowing you to run Arch and Fedora allowing you to run Arch and Fedora allowing you to run Arch and Fedora packages if needed within your Ubuntu packages if needed within your Ubuntu packages if needed within your Ubuntu based system and tightly integrating based system and tightly integrating based system and tightly integrating them within your host system and if them within your host system and if them within your host system and if really needed for something like a really needed for something like a really needed for something like a kernel module driver you can install kernel module driver you can install kernel module driver you can install packages on the host using that A B tool
-
packages on the host using that A B tool packages on the host using that A B tool or a B root tool that we mentioned or a B root tool that we mentioned or a B root tool that we mentioned earlier but this is not recommended earlier but this is not recommended earlier but this is not recommended vanilla OS also has other system vanilla OS also has other system vanilla OS also has other system specific tools such as vso for specific tools such as vso for specific tools such as vso for maintenance tasks and a whole bunch more maintenance tasks and a whole bunch more maintenance tasks and a whole bunch more I'm not going to be able to cover every I'm not going to be able to cover every I'm not going to be able to cover every single little specific thing in this single little specific thing in this single little specific thing in this video but of course I'll link down below video but of course I'll link down below video but of course I'll link down below to the documentation now before we to the documentation now before we to the documentation now before we actually dive on into vanilla OS check actually dive on into vanilla OS check actually dive on into vanilla OS check out

I'm gonna do real quick I'm going to fire up a real quick I'm going to fire up a real quick I'm going to fire up a virtual machine and Dome boxes with virtual machine and Dome boxes with virtual machine and Dome boxes with vanilla OS to go ahead and uh check it vanilla OS to go ahead and uh check it vanilla OS to go ahead and uh check it out alright so here we are the system is out alright so here we are the system is out alright so here we are the system is installed this is actually the second installed this is actually the second installed this is actually the second take of this I did run into some issues take of this I did run into some issues take of this I did run into some issues which I will be talking about and you which I will be talking about and you which I will be talking about and you first boot up the system you are first boot up the system you are first boot up the system you are prompted with this right here this is prompted with this right here this is prompted with this right here this is your kind of get started Little Helper your kind of get started Little Helper your kind of get started Little Helper walkthrough thing where you can pick walkthrough thing where you can pick walkthrough thing where you can pick your color scheme honestly the dark your color scheme honestly the dark your color scheme honestly the dark looks really good for the video we're looks really good for the video we're looks really good for the video we're going to stick with light and then here going to stick with light and then here going to stick with light and then here you have package manager options flat you have package manager options flat you have package manager options flat pack app image you could go next here
-
pack app image you could go next here pack app image you could go next here this is really cool you can select what this is really cool you can select what this is really cool you can select what components you want to install so we components you want to install so we components you want to install so we have our core applications and you could have our core applications and you could have our core applications and you could go through and select specifically what go through and select specifically what go through and select specifically what of those core applications you're of those core applications you're of those core applications you're actually going to use you have other actually going to use you have other actually going to use you have other options such as LibreOffice and then options such as LibreOffice and then options such as LibreOffice and then down here under common utilities you're down here under common utilities you're down here under common utilities you're going to have a lot of different things going to have a lot of different things going to have a lot of different things that you might want to add including that you might want to add including that you might want to add including bottles which I'm fairly certain is from bottles which I'm fairly certain is from bottles which I'm fairly certain is from the exact same developer of vanilla OS the exact same developer of vanilla OS the exact same developer of vanilla OS and then some other gaming tools some and then some other gaming tools some and then some other gaming tools some virtualization Asian software which virtualization Asian software which virtualization Asian software which boxes right here is what I'm currently boxes right here is what I'm currently boxes right here is what I'm currently using to demo this and if we go next you using to demo this and if we go next you using to demo this and if we go next you have time shift skip that open VM tools have time shift skip that open VM tools have time shift skip that open VM tools you click install install restricted you click install install restricted you click install install restricted codecs and that's going to go through a codecs and that's going to go through a codecs and that's going to go through a process and install all of that now process and install all of that now process and install all of that now where we get into one of the really where we get into one of the really where we get into one of the really unique things about this operating unique things about this operating unique things about this operating system is if we go over here to the system is if we go over here to the system is if we go over here to the vanilla OS control center here you can vanilla OS control center here you can vanilla OS control center here you can see loading drivers none available if see loading drivers none available if see loading drivers none available if you had something like a AMD GPU it's you had something like a AMD GPU it's you had something like a AMD GPU it's assumed the drivers would show up there assumed the drivers would show up there assumed the drivers would show up there you'd be able to install them under you'd be able to install them under you'd be able to install them under Updates this isn't actually updating Updates this isn't actually updating Updates this isn't actually updating rather out the update settings such as rather out the update settings such as rather out the update settings such as auto update specific schedules things auto update specific schedules things auto update specific schedules things like that but where it gets really like that but where it gets really like that but where it gets really interesting and like we mentioned in the interesting and like we mentioned in the interesting and like we mentioned in the intro is that the sub system right here intro is that the sub system right here intro is that the sub system right here this is where we can go ahead and add this is where we can go ahead and add this is where we can go ahead and add the Arch Linux subsystem open Souza the Arch Linux subsystem open Souza the Arch Linux subsystem open Souza subsystem and a whole lot more you can subsystem and a whole lot more you can subsystem and a whole lot more you can see I was playing around with it I see I was playing around with it I see I was playing around with it I actually have a couple different things actually have a couple different things actually have a couple different things installed and if I for example open up installed and if I for example open up installed and if I for example open up my Fedora subsystem this is what it it's my Fedora subsystem this is what it it's my Fedora subsystem this is what it it's going to look like now we're getting an going to look like now we're getting an going to look like now we're getting an error here because the command is error here because the command is error here because the command is currently like in the wrong order from
-
currently like in the wrong order from currently like in the wrong order from what it should be to work properly so what it should be to work properly so what it should be to work properly so it's just a little issue that's probably it's just a little issue that's probably it's just a little issue that's probably going to be fixed in an update so going to be fixed in an update so going to be fixed in an update so actually trying to launch things through actually trying to launch things through actually trying to launch things through here at the moment such as the Arch here at the moment such as the Arch here at the moment such as the Arch Linux subsystem here if I try to add Linux subsystem here if I try to add Linux subsystem here if I try to add that it's going to be the same situation that it's going to be the same situation that it's going to be the same situation where I get a error unknown flag but we where I get a error unknown flag but we where I get a error unknown flag but we can still install packages using this can still install packages using this can still install packages using this kind of containerized system and you can kind of containerized system and you can kind of containerized system and you can see here some of the ones I was playing see here some of the ones I was playing see here some of the ones I was playing around with I installed MPV within the around with I installed MPV within the around with I installed MPV within the normal Ubuntu subsystem as well as normal Ubuntu subsystem as well as normal Ubuntu subsystem as well as and then under the Fedora subsystem I and then under the Fedora subsystem I and then under the Fedora subsystem I have a second copy of and if we go have a second copy of and if we go have a second copy of and if we go under activities and we look at our under activities and we look at our under activities and we look at our applications here we can see the two applications here we can see the two applications here we can see the two different versions of we have different versions of we have different versions of we have on apx manage it dnf so this is a fedora on apx manage it dnf so this is a fedora on apx manage it dnf so this is a fedora version and then this right here is on version and then this right here is on version and then this right here is on just apx managed so this is going to be just apx managed so this is going to be just apx managed so this is going to be our Ubuntu version you can see if I open our Ubuntu version you can see if I open our Ubuntu version you can see if I open up this Fedora version right here or the up this Fedora version right here or the up this Fedora version right here or the version in the Fedora repositories it's version in the Fedora repositories it's version in the Fedora repositories it's going to open up it's going to be pretty going to open up it's going to be pretty going to open up it's going to be pretty quick and overall it is a pretty good quick and overall it is a pretty good quick and overall it is a pretty good experience so I'm going to close that experience so I'm going to close that experience so I'm going to close that out here and kind of show you an example out here and kind of show you an example out here and kind of show you an example so if I go and I open up my console so if I go and I open up my console so if I go and I open up my console let's move that over here we can see let's move that over here we can see let's move that over here we can see some of the commands that I have been some of the commands that I have been some of the commands that I have been inputting so what we need to do is apx inputting so what we need to do is apx inputting so what we need to do is apx install and then we add the flag for install and then we add the flag for install and then we add the flag for whatever we want to do so so in this whatever we want to do so so in this whatever we want to do so so in this case it's a dnf is what I used and case it's a dnf is what I used and case it's a dnf is what I used and now for example let's say I wanted to now for example let's say I wanted to now for example let's say I wanted to install chromium from the Fedora install chromium from the Fedora install chromium from the Fedora repositories I'll just type in chromium repositories I'll just type in chromium repositories I'll just type in chromium here chromium enter and then here you here chromium enter and then here you here chromium enter and then here you can see that it is able to find the can see that it is able to find the can see that it is able to find the package and it's going to install every
-
package and it's going to install every package and it's going to install every single dependency for this specific single dependency for this specific single dependency for this specific application in to this little container application in to this little container application in to this little container that it's building and then another that it's building and then another that it's building and then another example that I wanted to show you is example that I wanted to show you is example that I wanted to show you is something I did earlier and that is a something I did earlier and that is a something I did earlier and that is a MPV so if I look that up it's going to MPV so if I look that up it's going to MPV so if I look that up it's going to give me a total download size of 57 give me a total download size of 57 give me a total download size of 57 megabytes now this is kind of bringing megabytes now this is kind of bringing megabytes now this is kind of bringing up a con to doing it containerized like up a con to doing it containerized like up a con to doing it containerized like this because for example if I go ahead this because for example if I go ahead this because for example if I go ahead and open up our software Center and go and open up our software Center and go and open up our software Center and go search type in MPV we can see it right search type in MPV we can see it right search type in MPV we can see it right here and we can see the actual size is here and we can see the actual size is here and we can see the actual size is 31 megabytes so installing containerized 31 megabytes so installing containerized 31 megabytes so installing containerized packages like this with all of these packages like this with all of these packages like this with all of these separate dependencies may take up a separate dependencies may take up a separate dependencies may take up a little bit more room on your computer little bit more room on your computer little bit more room on your computer than just using the flat pack or with a than just using the flat pack or with a than just using the flat pack or with a normal system you just installed the normal system you just installed the normal system you just installed the applications and the dependencies would applications and the dependencies would applications and the dependencies would be shared in between applications rather be shared in between applications rather be shared in between applications rather than having everything in a single than having everything in a single than having everything in a single container now one thing I haven't tested container now one thing I haven't tested container now one thing I haven't tested out is if the Aur flag is working so out is if the Aur flag is working so out is if the Aur flag is working so let's go ahead do Aur and something in let's go ahead do Aur and something in let's go ahead do Aur and something in the Aur that I can grab is a mail spring the Aur that I can grab is a mail spring the Aur that I can grab is a mail spring for example hit enter it's going to go for example hit enter it's going to go for example hit enter it's going to go and create that container because this and create that container because this and create that container because this is the very first time I've ran the Aur is the very first time I've ran the Aur is the very first time I've ran the Aur flag so we're going to see if there's flag so we're going to see if there's flag so we're going to see if there's going to be any issues with this so going to be any issues with this so going to be any issues with this so there we are now setting up locales there we are now setting up locales there we are now setting up locales that's another issue I kind of had in my that's another issue I kind of had in my that's another issue I kind of had in my first take is my time wasn't set up first take is my time wasn't set up first take is my time wasn't set up right so it really just it just didn't right so it really just it just didn't right so it really just it just didn't work at all there we go downloading and work at all there we go downloading and work at all there we go downloading and install installing it EA and boom so install installing it EA and boom so install installing it EA and boom so it's listed out all these various it's listed out all these various it's listed out all these various dependencies do we want to remove the dependencies do we want to remove the dependencies do we want to remove the make dependencies after install I'm just
-
make dependencies after install I'm just make dependencies after install I'm just going to say no for now and proceed with going to say no for now and proceed with going to say no for now and proceed with install so total size is going to be 175 install so total size is going to be 175 install so total size is going to be 175 megabytes so let's go ahead and proceed megabytes so let's go ahead and proceed megabytes so let's go ahead and proceed with that installation and having access with that installation and having access with that installation and having access to the Aur and basically this kind of to the Aur and basically this kind of to the Aur and basically this kind of version of Ubuntu is awesome one of the version of Ubuntu is awesome one of the version of Ubuntu is awesome one of the big reasons a lot of people use Arch big reasons a lot of people use Arch big reasons a lot of people use Arch Linux is for the Aur because there's Linux is for the Aur because there's Linux is for the Aur because there's just one or two packages that you may just one or two packages that you may just one or two packages that you may might need specifically from it this might need specifically from it this might need specifically from it this basically gives us that that is if it basically gives us that that is if it basically gives us that that is if it works all right there we go male spring works all right there we go male spring works all right there we go male spring will appear in your applications in a will appear in your applications in a will appear in your applications in a few seconds so let's go ahead and see if few seconds so let's go ahead and see if few seconds so let's go ahead and see if it's in there there it is we can see it's in there there it is we can see it's in there there it is we can see mail spring on apx underscore manage to mail spring on apx underscore manage to mail spring on apx underscore manage to Aur give that an open and then the Aur give that an open and then the Aur give that an open and then the application is going to open in its very application is going to open in its very application is going to open in its very own containerized instance that is maybe own containerized instance that is maybe own containerized instance that is maybe second time's a charm okay so it's not second time's a charm okay so it's not second time's a charm okay so it's not wanting to open up mail spring let's wanting to open up mail spring let's wanting to open up mail spring let's give a one more shot with another give a one more shot with another give a one more shot with another application so let's go ahead and try application so let's go ahead and try application so let's go ahead and try something here let's um let's try to something here let's um let's try to something here let's um let's try to grab a tour browser through the Aur see grab a tour browser through the Aur see grab a tour browser through the Aur see if that works and it says okay the torp if that works and it says okay the torp if that works and it says okay the torp browser will appear in a few seconds browser will appear in a few seconds browser will appear in a few seconds let's see if it has which it has now let's see if it has which it has now let's see if it has which it has now let's see if it will open because mail let's see if it will open because mail let's see if it will open because mail spring for some reason is not wanting to spring for some reason is not wanting to spring for some reason is not wanting to open oh there it is cool all right so open oh there it is cool all right so open oh there it is cool all right so here is tor running in the container here is tor running in the container here is tor running in the container um through or installed through the Aur um through or installed through the Aur um through or installed through the Aur uh pretty cool thing and there we go uh pretty cool thing and there we go uh pretty cool thing and there we go we're now connected to Tor so super cool we're now connected to Tor so super cool we're now connected to Tor so super cool fascinating stuff so it's probably just fascinating stuff so it's probably just fascinating stuff so it's probably just this specific instance of mail spring this specific instance of mail spring this specific instance of mail spring not to do with the system itself oh well not to do with the system itself oh well not to do with the system itself oh well there we go so I guess I just needed a
-
there we go so I guess I just needed a there we go so I guess I just needed a couple attempts to think about it nice couple attempts to think about it nice couple attempts to think about it nice super fascinating cool stuff cool stuff super fascinating cool stuff cool stuff super fascinating cool stuff cool stuff so let's close out of there and of so let's close out of there and of so let's close out of there and of course really beyond that it's your course really beyond that it's your course really beyond that it's your typical kind of a stock gnome typical kind of a stock gnome typical kind of a stock gnome environment we have the stock gnome web environment we have the stock gnome web environment we have the stock gnome web browser photos files and everything is browser photos files and everything is browser photos files and everything is going to be pretty uh vanilla do I uh going to be pretty uh vanilla do I uh going to be pretty uh vanilla do I uh other than there's a couple things that other than there's a couple things that other than there's a couple things that aren't really too vanilla if we go over aren't really too vanilla if we go over aren't really too vanilla if we go over here we do have extension manager here we do have extension manager here we do have extension manager installed which is nice this is the one installed which is nice this is the one installed which is nice this is the one that that allows you to browse and that that allows you to browse and that that allows you to browse and install directly through here so you install directly through here so you install directly through here so you don't have to get like a Firefox don't have to get like a Firefox don't have to get like a Firefox extension and all that there are some extension and all that there are some extension and all that there are some system extensions but all of them are system extensions but all of them are system extensions but all of them are disabled a lot of these you'd probably disabled a lot of these you'd probably disabled a lot of these you'd probably want to go ahead and enable anyways but want to go ahead and enable anyways but want to go ahead and enable anyways but that is a super nice thing to have and that is a super nice thing to have and that is a super nice thing to have and then of course on the system other than then of course on the system other than then of course on the system other than the things that we've just added it's the things that we've just added it's the things that we've just added it's basically everything we selected during basically everything we selected during basically everything we selected during that initial installation prompt there's that initial installation prompt there's that initial installation prompt there's not much more past here one thing that not much more past here one thing that not much more past here one thing that is worth mentioning and a criticism is is worth mentioning and a criticism is is worth mentioning and a criticism is how much disk space this thing takes up how much disk space this thing takes up how much disk space this thing takes up if we go over to my 129 gig hard disk if we go over to my 129 gig hard disk if we go over to my 129 gig hard disk here you can see there is really a lot here you can see there is really a lot here you can see there is really a lot going on there are two 20 gigabyte root going on there are two 20 gigabyte root going on there are two 20 gigabyte root partitions we have a and b so just an partitions we have a and b so just an partitions we have a and b so just an actual root file system it's taking 40 actual root file system it's taking 40 actual root file system it's taking 40 gigabytes of space there is a work being gigabytes of space there is a work being gigabytes of space there is a work being done in development to make this under done in development to make this under done in development to make this under 10 gigabytes per root partition but that 10 gigabytes per root partition but that 10 gigabytes per root partition but that is something to keep note of especially is something to keep note of especially is something to keep note of especially if you're somebody with like 128 if you're somebody with like 128 if you're somebody with like 128 gigabyte hard drive or even if you have gigabyte hard drive or even if you have gigabyte hard drive or even if you have a 256 gig hard drive to have 40 gigs a 256 gig hard drive to have 40 gigs a 256 gig hard drive to have 40 gigs just taken like that right away is a lot just taken like that right away is a lot just taken like that right away is a lot especially if you want to install things

Summary
Vanilla OS is a unique Linux distribution based on Ubuntu, featuring an immutable file system similar to Fedora Silverblue. This immutability enhances security by preventing core system components from being altered, with updates handled via the "broot" tool to maintain separate system states. The key takeaway is that this approach to system management, utilizing technologies like Flatpak for application distribution, offers increased stability and security compared to traditional package management.
