I’ve seen the status code in a JSON response before: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/status-codes#401-unauthorized
One reason I can think of for including it is that it may make it easier for the consumer to check the status code if it’s in the JSON. Depending on how many layers of abstraction you have, your app may not have access to the raw HTTP response.
Although, yeah you lose the single source of truth though.
2 month review: It mostly works fine!
Cons:
Pros:
Normally, I search for an album and then play the album. That works 100% fine on wired headphones.
Simple use case. It works. I don’t regret buying this (yet).
I am super duper hoping they keep working on the code though. The software definitely needs more attention.
I definitely hear “hotcakes” in Mexico City. Ironically, we say “panqueques” in US Spanish.
panqueques
Interesting. In US Spanish, we also call them “panqueques”. However, when I go to Mexico, I hear people call them “hotcakes” (in English).
Yay! Good job. Keep going!
Neat. I’ve been getting more curious about WebDAV recently. Also, great website! Thanks for posting!
Voyager has been pretty decent for me.
Neat. I’ll have to check this out as well. Thanks!
One thing I’m doing differently in Arch this time is I’m trying out installing as many things as possible as flatpaks. I’ve successfully ignored them until now. Surprisingly, a lot of my apps are already packaged as flatpaks.
The other thing I’m borrowing is distrobox+podman. I didn’t know about that before. This seems useful for dev environments.
flatpaks + distrobox seem to be at least 50% of VanillaOS. So I’m borrowing those and then I get to keep the simple, mutable OS with Arch.
That being said, I’ve never had a problem with pacman breaking my system, so I don’t see major value in doing this… other than… it’s helping me procrastinate! I should be doing real work right now. 😄

Ooooh, ok. Missed that.
Hi, it isn’t possible to install Tailscale inside the VSO container since it needs to interface with the host, for this case, I would suggest using a custom image following this template and rebase to it using ABRoot -> https://github.com/Vanilla-OS/custom-image.
Aw, dang. ok.
I’m like 12 hours in. It’s not going too well right now… the biggest con is that there is basically no documentation for Orchrid…
My use case: I have Obsidian notes synced with Syncthing to a server only accessible via Tailscale. I was able to get Syncthing working by installing Syncthing GTK from Flathub (a workaround, I couldn’t figure out how to install Syncthing the normal way). But I’m still out of luck because I can’t reach the server.
The only way to install Tailscale is via a custom image it seems. :(
The other thing I haven’t figured out is if it’s possible to use wl-copy to copy text from a terminal. The terminal app basically opens into a container. It seems like wl-copy can’t break out of the container and affect the host clipboard.
The container/isolation stuff seems kewl in theory, but so far I’m finding it pretty annoying.
I’m experimenting with this because I was wondering if VanillaOS would be a good fit for my parents, which actually, it might be. They have very basic needs. All their apps are on Flathub. But for me… I think I may just go back to Arch.
You mean the post that talks about the successful install that doesn’t run? 😅
this post covers the successful install of tailscale on VanillaOS, however I cannot get it to run.
Also, that’s from 2 years ago on VanillaOS Kinetic, not Orchrid. 😢
Oh, wait. Derp. Sorry. I need to RTFM.

Great post! Thank you for your service! 🫡
I’m currently researching immutable distros and this post was very helpful!
I will also install Fedora Silverblue or VanillaOS on my mums’ laptop in the future.
1 year later, did you end up doing this? I’ve been considering installing VanillaOS for my parents. I wonder how it turned out for you.
Honestly, each parent should have 6 mo of paid leave.
Heck yes. 12 weeks is nothing. The baby still needs a ton of help at this stage.
We have a temporary glitch with GitHub
The title is a little clickbaity. Seems like it’s a transient GitHub issue.
Most men are hard working and want to support their families
… which is exactly why you should take paternity leave and support your family, instead of abandoning them for 8 hours a day at work. I’d feel like a total asshole if I just took off and said, “Good luck with the baby, honey. I’m gonna go hang out with my friends at work.”
Maybe… but why not go further?
Unless you regularly transport more than 1 person, you don’t need a car. You can rent one of those for the rare times you need it!
Buy a motorcycle or bike instead?
