Hey guys! I am choosing between 2 distros. Netrunner and Vanilla OS, but can’t decode which one. Any opinions on those distros? I love the concept behind netrunner but i’m afraid the kernel being 6.16 mighty not be safe enough. What you guys think?
your choices only share a debian core, otherwise they couldn’t be more different from one another.
netrunner is an opinionated debian base running kde on xlibre.
vanilla is gnome, on a unique debian-based immutable. there will be a learning curve.
personally, i think there are better choices for whatever is attracting you to these two… debian, kde, gnome, immutables…
My opinion of VanillaOS + a dev response to it: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/66437447/27748310
We might be more helpful I you I clude your rationalizations for these two, and what you’re looking to solve for or gain from these versus others.
I don’t think either has a very large user base.
Netrunner because i like the aesthetic and Vanilla because it’s kinda mint but immutable.
Isn’t Netrunner just KDE for the desktop? I might be missing something.
it’s basically a hacked-up debian with kde on xlibre.
I’d either go with a Debian derivative (or Debian) or a red hat derivative (or red hat). Or suse I guess.
At a time like this it would be bad to approve of or recommend some weirdo mess. Just crawl on board one of the big boats till the waves die down a bit.
