      In general it is -as mentioned by @h3ron@lemmy.zip- an immutable, Debian based distribution with GNOME. It uses a quiet interesting system called ABRoot for doing updates. I use it on one of my spare machines now since they did the switch from Ubuntu base to Debian and honestly i like it.

            Ah thanks. Now I remember why I never used VanillaOS previously. I’ve been keeping my eye on bluefin-LTS though. Looks like a really interesting project. CentOS Stream based immutable distribution.

          I’m running Aeon on my main laptop for I think two years now and it’s so nice to just have an updated system automatically after you reboot without doing anything. However Aeon is still in RC stage so there are occasional bugs mainly related to disk encryption since automated tests are not yet implemented. But there are many other options.
