Vanilla OS 2 - future plans, updates, and next release

The Vanilla OS project has published a blog post to answer questions that users have raised since the release of Vanilla OS 2. The post has information about the update strategy for the distribution, an enterprise version with support, and plans for an experimental version called Vanilla OS Vision.

We are not planning for a potential Vanilla OS 3 because it is not yet necessary. As previously explained, our focus right now is on bug fixing and making the system as solid as possible, especially in light of collaborations with OEMs. We're all excited about laying the foundation for a third version of Vanilla OS, but we have responsibilities to attend to first.

This does not mean that there will never be one, nor does it mean that Orchid will become stagnant. On the contrary, as previously mentioned, our updates not only bring fixes but also updates to system components, improvements to existing features, and updates to components like GNOME (we are planning the release of GNOME 47 soon, for example).

Nothing screams "enterprise" as a website that requires javascript to display the main page.

Yeah. That was a pretty heavy web page, too. I have a very powerful machine (32 cores / 64 threads AMD Ryzen 3970X with 64GB of RAM) and the page took many seconds to render and got my CPU fan spinning furiously the first time it loaded. Subsequently, it was quicker, but still...

Page loaded pretty much instantly on my (admittedly quite new i)phone. Is this another example of people building websites that are slow on Firefox? Or is it something else?

Yeah, it's Firefox.

Loaded quickly in Firefox (with Javascript only enabled for the main page).

Huh, subsequent attempts have it loading quite quickly. So maybe there was a network issue the first time I tried it.

I didn't notice any performance issues in both mobile Firefox and desktop Linux Firefox (but Nightly).

I think this site was built in development mode for some reason. Opening the DevTools Network shows that there are a bunch of .vue files that seem to also have code for hot reloading via Vite in them, plus there's also a node_modules directory which seems to have a bunch of Vue code and some other packages?

That's indeed a very slow loading page.
