From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.

If you read the first few lines of the blog post, you'll see that Vanilla OS 2 can be upgraded to Vanilla OS 3 seamlessly. The project has matured significantly over the past two years, and we're actively working to ensure existing users have a smooth experience, for example, with the new update mode in First Setup.
As for Mirko, his work on Sinty OS doesn't mean Vanilla OS is abandoned. If that were the case, we wouldn't be releasing Vanilla OS 3. I'd kindly ask that you base your criticism on facts, not on presumptions about what we may or may not be doing.
