Vanilla OS - Immutable Operating System

Vanilla OS is an immutable operating system that prioritizes security and stability. Its core parts of the system are locked down to prevent unwanted changes or corruption caused by third-party applications or faulty updates. Current Vanilla OS is based on Ubuntu-based Linux distribution that provides vanilla GNOME without any changes to the user experience. 

Installing packages in the root partition is possible using ABRoot, but this approach isn’t ideal or recommended as the root partition is small and should get used for kernel modules or root-side essential packages only. Apx is a package manager created by the Vanilla OS team is recommended to install packages. Apx can install packages from any Linux distribution (Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, openSUSE, Alpine Linux, etc).
