Vanilla OS

Work in Progress!

I have no free machine with UEFI so I'm testing in under-powered VM which is far from ideal.

Official requirements are here:

• https://docs.vanillaos.org/handbook/en/installation

Unfortunately all Vanilla OS web pages require JavaScript so you can't use Google (or any other engine) to search them.

Here are undocumented Vanilla OS Orchid requirements:

• UEFI only (installer will refuse to continue in BIOS mode)
• 2 CPU cores or more. Installer will issue warning it you have only 1 core, but will allow to continue. To explain: I use old 2 core machine for experiments, so I can dedicate only 1 core when using VM (KVM will allow to expose all 2 cores, but performance is very poor, because there is a fight between guest and host for these cores).

Official requirements:

• 50GB of disk space or more
• 4GB RAM or more

Random notes:

• it uses BTRFS on top of LVM-thin which is generally not recommended (BTRFS has its own volume management). However it is not actually forbidden so let's see how it will work.
