I’m trying it out for the first time and reading the handbook here: https://docs.vanillaos.org/handbook/en/updates

However, I noticed the page says:

This guide is for Kinetic (22.10), not Orchid.

And when I tried running command to check for updates, I got this.

$ vso update-check
Error: unknown command "update-check" for "vso"
Run 'vso --help' for usage.
  ERROR   unknown command "update-check" for "vso"

I could wait for the normal update job to run, but I’m being impatient. :)

    sorry its OT but what has been your experience so far with VanillaOS? I remember there was a lot of discussion about it a while back but haven’t heard much since then.

      I’m like 12 hours in. It’s not going too well right now… the biggest con is that there is basically no documentation for Orchrid…

      My use case: I have Obsidian notes synced with Syncthing to a server only accessible via Tailscale. I was able to get Syncthing working by installing Syncthing GTK from Flathub (a workaround, I couldn’t figure out how to install Syncthing the normal way). But I’m still out of luck because I can’t reach the server.

      The only way to install Tailscale is via a custom image it seems. :(

      The other thing I haven’t figured out is if it’s possible to use wl-copy to copy text from a terminal. The terminal app basically opens into a container. It seems like wl-copy can’t break out of the container and affect the host clipboard.

      The container/isolation stuff seems kewl in theory, but so far I’m finding it pretty annoying.

      I’m experimenting with this because I was wondering if VanillaOS would be a good fit for my parents, which actually, it might be. They have very basic needs. All their apps are on Flathub. But for me… I think I may just go back to Arch.
