Itâs a 'Buntu-based distro with GNOME. Why even bother reading reviews?
What I get from his video is that I would be frustrated with running apps via terminal using this distro.
Itâs an interesting concept but for me Itâs not something that jumps out at me and I say wow thatâs cool! I remember bottles and that wasnât something for me either. I wouldnât like it any better if it was KDE either.
Tried Vanilla directly after release, no WiFi connection detected, had to install it with Lan cable plugged in.
After first reboot and install option âLibre Officeâ Iâve been able to connect to WiFi.
First impression, nice GUI but absolutely nothing special.
Not worse or better than Mint f.e.
Guaranteed not the new Holy Grail of Linux distributions.
Outdated Chrome dev Browser from app store.
Kernel version 5.19.
Havenât been able to uninstall the standard browser, it appears in the app store as âAvailable but not installedâ
And missing some localised parts, still in English though Iâve choosed German.
Itâs okay but thatâs itâŚ
I already use the Holy Grail of Linux distributions. EndeavourOS!
I was the fourth click of this link. Comes back with âAccess Deniedâ. So was the review that horrible? I like reading reviews about Linux distros, but I canât find one easily that writes like the guy from DistrowatchâŚ
âYou do not have permission to view the contents of this page.â Was this page helpful? NO!
I managed to get past CloudFlare via ProtonVPN with the âstealthâ connection mode.
Does it support wayland ?
I tried Gnome on Eos, but it doesnt have fractional support, 100% is small, 200 % is big
On KDE 125% is the best
Fwiw, EOS doesnât either.
Dr will review a toaster if it can run Linux. Good get those clicks up.
Doesnât what?
Show up full screen in avm until after I change the display settings.
It does on vmware and it always did on virtualbox for me and that is why i used it for so long. What i mean by full screen is full screen in the vm Window. Then if i want to go full screen to not show the vm window controls you can do that also but thatâs not how i use it. I just want the same resolution as my monitor and have the vm resize it to the vm window which is only slightly smaller. That way i can still have the host controls also to switch back and forth.I get that with virtualbox and vmware without any intervention. Not all distributions do though. Some must be missing some packages. Most do and the ones i use are the only ones i care about. Iâm not using virtualbox anymore though since version 7.0 as it doesnât work well anymore for me. Too many issues. One time itâs good next update itâs not.
This is how modern Android phones do updates actually.
The A/B system is to ensure the system is always bootable and if something with an update causes a boot failure it simply uses the previous primary.
EDIT: this doesnât appear to be what Vanilla is doing though? I havenât looked into it much but itd need A/B root, user data, and maybe 1-2 other partitions for other volatile data.
On mine this window is filled full. You are using boxes or Gnome boxes. I donât want this. I want full width and thatâs what i get with vmware. Like thisâŚ
Edit:
KDE host is at the bottom. Or i could have the task bar where ever.
I was more just pointing out, that even EOS does this. Pretty much all distros do this. It doesnât bother me, it takes like .05 seconds to adjust it.
I use virt-manager these days and with virgl I can get acceleration and full screen like that in most distros (some just require a package or 2). Some donât set resolution automatically but w.e
My biggest gripe with VMWare is trying to use the Virtual GPU seems to cause some serious stutters/pauses. Its fine otherwise but I mostly use VMs for Linux Distros so why not use KVM/Virt Manager with virgl?
Wasnât sure what you meant. I just donât like using a vm with a small window. I want it to be the same as any OS that is installed which is basically the same resoltion as my monitor there abouts. Thatâs what i get with vmware and what i got with virtualbox. I donât want to spend time trying to figure out how to make it work.
