To me, it seemed as if Vanilla OS lost a decent amount of momentum in their transition to Vanilla OS 2. And I’d say they’ve yet to regain what has been lost. I don’t want to sound all gloom and doom, but is it sensible to be enthusiastic about this project’s future at this point? Like, are the developers still as invested, enthusiastic and motivated as they were in the beginning?
Well, i am in no way affiliated with the developer team or the project in general and yes, there was some time when everything looked a bit… stalled… but at the moment it looks like they got back their motivation.

No, absolutely not. The chance that VanillaOS becomes a major distribution in the Linux world is minimal and there is the high probability that they just throw the towel at some point in the future. I mean, its like that time when somebody whose name i cannot remember started a Minix clone just for fun as a hobby project…
I don’t know to what degree it’s sensible to regard the following as a metric. However, it does help in putting things into perspective. My belief is that Vanilla OS is directly competing with the whole uBlue ecosystem, even if one is Debian-based and the other Fedora-based. As such, I am curious to know how the custom image ecosystem of Vanilla OS is. Like, does something like this exist for Vanilla OS? (FWIW, there was another website that made browsing through these a better experience. But, sadly, I couldn’t find it.)

Well, there is Vib, and there are various custom images out there, but sadly i am not aware of any single website that list them. It’s all in all a much smaller project than uBlue and in things like that it shows.

Thanks for the answer!
