Wow, you weren’t kidding.

Two Alt keys and no space bar?

Billionaires.

I use Nephele through Nginx Proxy Manager.

That’s not who I wanted to see dead at 74.

I’m really not looking to add a bunch more apps. I kind of want to get rid of the ones I have.

God damn.

Yo this is big. In both that it is momentous, and holy shit that’s a lot of parameters. How many GB is this model?? I’d be able to run it if I had an few extra $10k bills lying around to buy the required hardware.

That’s fine. I don’t want Reddit results anyway.

Vanilla is a genus of orchids.

They named their OS after a genus of plants, not a single species. And there are some species that have wide, colored petals like that.

But yeah, the logo is not a vanilla flower, but it’s not so drastically different I’d fault them for it.

Edit 1: One thing to note is that they named their OS “Vanilla” because of the common description of a software product, meaning unaltered from its original release. They named it this because they don’t change any settings or add any extensions to the Gnome desktop. They provide a “vanilla” installation. I don’t actually know if they were trying to do a vanilla flower as their logo, or just a flower.

Edit 2: They definitely were.

The name “Vanilla OS” evokes the purity and simplicity we aim to offer our users, while the vanilla flower, featured in our logo, represents the sweetness and elegance of our operating system.

(From their FAQ page.)

I agree that it’s not the same flower, but it’s not always as radically different as the one you showed. The color and size of the petals can be similar. But yes, the structure of the flower is different.

Vanilla flowers can look similar to their logo.

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!!!

No changing the system files! Ever! (Until you can.)

Duck, rabbit, fish. It’s not uncommon for people to hunt and fish.

What? Why would you need to do this? Is someone fucking with the .git directory?

Sounds great to me. Us software devs need to eat, so I totally get trying to turn this into a profitable business model. I’m very happy that they’re not paywalling any features, but honestly, I’d be fine if they did. I’m probably going to pay either way. Immich has been awesome, and it’s gotten me off of my second to last Google app, Photos. If only there were a good alternative to YouTube…

Nothing is safe to run unless you write it yourself. You just have to trust the source. Sometimes that’s easy, like Red Hat, and sometimes that’s hard. Sometimes it bites you in the ass, and sometimes it doesn’t.

Docker is a good way to sandbox things, just be aware of the permissions and access you give a container. If you give it access to your network, that’s basically like letting the developer connect their computer to your wifi. It’s also not perfect, so again, you have to trust the source. Do some research, make sure they’re trustworthy.
