It's one of the very few Ubuntu based distributions that is immutable, and atomic.
Apart from that, VanillaOS uses GNOME, the most Vanilla GNOME they could ship on Ubuntu, and if you're looking for all the apps, you have access to containers that run other distros at native speeds, and give you access to all their packages.
The installer is something I had never seen before, it looks super good, just like a GNOME app, and will take you through the basic steps, and it even has a nice legible GUI to set up your disk layout.
After installing and rebooting, you're right into your user session, and you can pick between dark and light mode, if you want to enable support for Flatpak and AppImages, you also get to pick the apps you want to install: you have 3 sets of apps, the core ones, Office apps, and common utilities.
After that, you get the GNOME 43 desktop, which doesn't have any customization or extension.
Now the main point of VanillaOS is to offer the ability to run multiple distros on just one system, with distro containers, using Distrobox. And to manage that, you have the VanillaOS control center.
You can add an Arch subsystem to get access to the AUR, a Fedora subsystem with DNF as the package manager, you get an OpenSUSE container, plus a VOid Linux one, and one for Alpine. Or you can create your own with any other distro you want.
APX is VanillaOS all in one package manager. It lets you install applications for any source that you have access to, including all your distro containers.
The syntax is pretty easy: you just type apx install, followed by the package manager that will perform the actual install, and the package name.
For example, if I wanted to install davinci Resolve from the AUR, I could type:
apx install --aur davinci-resolve
And APX will automatically start my Arch container, and use the arch package manager to install Davinci Resolve from the AUR.
And on top of that, apps installed this way will still show up in your GNOME overview and app grid, just like if they were installed on the base system itself.
And, if you absolutely need to install something to the base system, you can, there's a preinstalled tool called ABRoot, that lets you execute a command, like running apt, since the system is Ubuntu based.
Now for updates, Vanilla OS is not a rolling release, it has fixed releases that follow the Ubuntu release convention.
Flatpaks you installed through GNOME software or the command line will be updated through the same methods. System updates are handled by VSO, for Vanilla System Operator.
This does mean you'll need more disk space: at least 50 gigs to install the system, and the root partition you don't use. Containers and applications installed in them can be updated by running apx update in a terminal.
But there are issues: as I mentioned, if you need more software from multiple sources, then you need multiple containers. This takes up a lot of space. And if your container dies, so do all your installed applications, and related user data.
The second problem is the disk space usage of the main system: sure having 2 root partitions is great for stability, but it also consumes a LOT of disk space you'll never use.
I also noticed that apps installed from containers sometimes don't show up in the GNOME app grid, and you have to run an APX command to actually add them.

The Zionists and U.S. imperialism are shocked at Iran's capacity to respond. Sara Flounders, Co-Director of the International Action Center, on Trump's Plans on Iran Watch HereJanet (International Action Center)
Israel keeps ignoring International Law though
According to Antonio Cassese (1937-2011)
Preventive pre-emptive strikes
1) you must be able to provide the United nations with solid proof (of Iran’s intent to use a nuclear weapon)
2) your pre-emptive attack must be aimed solely at ‘dangerous targets’ not the Iranian government or its administration system
3)when you realize later that you were wrong to have attacked Iran, you must agree to be tried in an international court
If the pre-emptive strike did not meet those three conditions ,
“that’s an act of aggression “.

An Israeli official told US media this week that the interception rate of Tel Aviv’s air defenses decreased by 25 percent over two daysthecradle.co
Maybe, just maybe, western leaders are not the spineless creatures they seem to be. Maybe they're just afraid that there are mossad agents in their towns, ready to launch drones to assassinate them and their families if they don't follow Netanyahu's dictates. The last two years taught us that Israel was a nation of blood-thirsty assassins who operate with little to no moral or ethical constraints.
Unlikely, but less depressing than believing that we're ruled by monsters in suits and ties.

I think it's a sign of progress that it's been many years now since I seriously thought "am I REALLY queer or have I just somehow tricked myself into thinking I'm queer while all along I've actually been straight??"
Existing as I have in the area of bi but also aromantic and somewhere on the asexual spectrum, it was hard for a long time to see my experience reflected in that of anyone else, which made me question my own sense of reality in a way I now find quite sad.
The other day I said to a friend, in bafflement, "can you believe I spent years questioning whether I was queer??" And she laughed at the absurdity of it. I'm glad that doubt is in the past.

"As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends compensatingly to increase. And the dictator (unless he needs cannon fodder and families with which to colonize empty or con- quered territories) will do well to encourage that freedom. In conjunction with the freedom to day- dream under the influence of dope and movies and the radio, it will help to reconcile his subjects to the servitude which is their fate."
