Discord?
Eh! If this is the only community place, then thanks no.
You could make discord <–> IRC bot. Problem solved :D
No, problem not solved, problem half-heartedly worked around. People dislike Discord for several reasons, bridging it to whatever different platform will at best be a bandaid.
Do they even allow that kind of interoperability? I thought Discord was 100% our terrible browser application way or the highway?
They don’t, officially, as far as I know it’s always been an “at your own risk, might get your account banned” endeavor.
Antitrust crackdown when
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.
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.
So… immutable fork of Ubuntu 21?
A fork of Debian, but yes.
Vanilla OS is the Ubuntu derivative, Vanilla OS 2 Orchid will be the Debian derivative
TY, when scrolling through the site, I didn’t find a single time mentioning it Ubuntu, but Debian compatibility. However the beta release notification is enlightening:
The system consists of a hybrid base of Debian packages and Vib modules. The major change in Orchid is the switch from Ubuntu to Debian, providing more flexibility and control over the system and update distribution.
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…?
