Choice.
Your system, your choices.
Vanilla OS is an operating system that respects your choices, you are in control, always.
At the first start you can choose which package format to use in Vanilla OS (Flatpak, Snap, Appimage ..), you choose and Vanilla OS will take care of the rest, putting you in the situation to start without problems.
Immutable..
..but also not.
Vanilla OS is an immutable operating system, core parts of the system are locked down to prevent unwanted changes and corruption from third-party applications or a faulty update. Some paths are still writable, such as the home and configurations directories, this allows the user to keep their files and ensure the normal functioning of applications.
Core components are only updated via controlled and atomic transactions, which are applied only on success and made available on reboot.
Need to install a component in the core system? No problem, you can open a transactional shell at any time, make your changes and let the system apply them atomically!
Free & Open Source.
You don't have to and you will never have to pay.
Vanilla OS is built on free and Open Source technologies and software and does not require any payment to be used, it is simply already yours.
All system components are released under Open Source licenses and the code is available for your review, contribution or forking.
