Currently, there is no formal method of changing or resetting the OS of an already deployed machine, though it's a highly requested feature that is on our to-do list. For now, you would have to deploy a clean VPS with the distro you would like.
As a workaround for a way to 'reset' future deployments on Standard and Premium plans, you can take a Manual Backup and/or Snapshot immediately after the machine starts and use that as a way to 'reset' a machine back to its original state. Please note in order to change an OS completely you would still need to deploy a new VPS.
When we add the ability to reset and/or change OS options for existing deployments we will be sure to let all users know.

No specific dates yet, we are always working to improve our platform, there are many different features we are working on and will always update all users as soon as we deploy them or have any more information.
