GNOME OS is so useful for so many things. I can test a future version of apps that depend on newer versions of system libraries (like gnome-online-accounts) without any sort of friction. I just have to run GNOME OS in a VM.
@brainblasted @gnome I relly wish GNOME releases this as a distribution that consumers can use and not just for developers who want to test. I like vanilla GNOME but getting that on Ubuntu/popos is a pain. There is always some UI elements mixed with their own tweaks. The closest alternative is Debian stable but one has to wait forever to get updates on it. I tried Debian testing but it is quite unstable as expected every couple of months.
@jgarciao @brainblasted @gnome Yes I was using fedora before. But since a couple of years I had to switch to debian based distros because some software I need is distributed as a .deb file. I wish I could switch back to Fedora.
@anirudh @brainblasted @gnome After using Debian stable/testing for over a decade I gave a try to Fedora Workstation a couple of years ago and I'm very happy with it.
GNOME is close to vanilla and the distro in general is very fast and stable. It's also easy to update to the next Fedora release (I do it a month or two after release date, just in case).
Give it a try too if you haven't!
