    Vision 3.0 is a 35GB download, making it slightly heavier than many alternative Linux distributions, despite being based on the classic Debian project.

    Debian based, but 35GB 😬

    Edit: just realised that this comment doesn’t actually answer your question.
    According to Linuxlap.com Vision uses Gnome2, or did in 2011 one v1 release. Looked all over and couldn’t find anything more than that

      “slightly heavier”? wouldn’t that actually make it the heaviest? I mean hell the Omarchy dotfiles clock in at like 8 gigs and I thought that was a lot but 35gig download? good lord.

        As @The_Jit@lemmy.world said in another comment:

        They explain that in the article…

        The OS includes a wide array of additional software and over 200 game-oriented packages tied to the classic Commodore brand. It also features a modern implementation of the BASIC programming language.

        Still feels a bit excessive to front load all of it instead of making it an optional download on initial setup.
