Vanilla OS 2 Orchid Available for Download
The latest iteration of Vanilla OS (Orchid) has been released and uses a hybrid Debian base.
It's been a year in the making but Vanilla OS 2 Orchid has been officially released. This time around, the developers have completely rewritten the operating system with a focus on simplicity and performance.
The developers approached version 2 based on three fundamental concepts: reliability, safety, and coolness. On the reliability side of things, the focus is on what matters most without interruption, whether that's managing new projects, viewing media, or creating content.
Orchid protects critical components from unauthorized access by placing all activities within an isolated space. Also, data is encrypted and the boot process has been verified against tampering. For coolness, you'll find a modern UI that makes it easy for any user (of any skill) to feel right at home on the desktop.
Orchid ensures the system is always up-to-date, a process that happens in the background, so it never interrupts you. Users can set the update frequency to best meet their needs.
Vanilla OS 2 supports multiple graphic cards and, with the help of the new PRIME Utility, you can switch between integrated and discrete GPUs based on need. Orchid also is compatible with Linux apps, Android apps, Steam games, and much more.
Developers haven't been forgotten either. Thanks to the new APX feature, developers can create customized Linux environments that are seamlessly integrated with the system. You can read more about this powerful tool here.
You can download the latest release of Vanilla OS from the official website and view the release announcement to find out more.
