Everyone, including Commodore themselves: "how you're not dead?"
Commodore: "I don't know! =D "

  The Commodore name and trademarks were recently acquired by the YouTube channel Retro Recipes, which has now revived the company under the Commodore International Corporation name. The new team includes original Commodore members such as Albert Charpentier, Dave Haynie, and Bil Herd.

Wait, Commodore is still around? Or again?
Just give us an un-fragged version of Amiga and we'll all be happy.

  Again

  Oh, that guy. I don't have anything for or against him.

what DE is Vision OS using?

  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.

35 GB? Hard pass.

  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.
