    Still a shame it isn’t based on the best distro in the world as it was initially planned.

    EDIT: this was misinformation. Idk if I was hallucinating again or I confused it with another distro (e. g. BlendOS) but VanillaOS was never meant to be based on Arch.

          Very curious. I didn’t know this. I tried verifying this, but didn’t manage to do so.

          So, I got to ask; Was this just a joke? Or is there (some) truth to this claim?

            I would take a lot of time to find. Search in old TLE videos I guess. If he made news about it, there should be links to the sources too.

      Thanks for the EDIT because I thought I had really missed something.

      I am addicted to Arch and the AUR but it is precisely that it is NOT Arch that makes Vanilla look attractive. Do I REALLY need multiple new kernels per month like Arch gives me?

      Having a more stable base sounds like a great idea. Using containers to get access to the Arch repositories and the AUR on top of Debian sounds even better. Vanilla bakes support for that scenario right in.
