The USB-stick, prepared with Rufus, can not be/stay in a USB-port with Windows running. Rebooting from a running Windows, with the prepared USB-stick in an USB-port results in an endless loop. At the date I tried the last EasyOS, Chromium was of an older version, the actual Chromium (and Chrome) had just had crash-updates. EasyOS did not update Chromium. The options to download the latest Firefox and Vivaldi did not work. So potentially internet-browsing with the given Chromium could be unsafe. The prepared USB-stick (with EasyOS) can not be wiped/reformatted with a Windows-program (so also not with Rufus). So potentially an USB-stick with EasyOS, can not be used any more for something else (when you want to dismiss EasyOS). However I succeeded to get rid of EasyOS and make the USB-stick Windows-usable, using a bootable GParted CD (keep MS-Dos partition table (anything else crashes GParted with the USB-stick), delete the partitions on the USB-stick, create new FAT32-partition). I think a bootable DVD or USB-stick can better be made with a "big" supplier, daily/weekly build from Ubuntu or Fedora or Tails. Was this review helpful?

Total isolation in RAM, built-in firewall, you can customize with GUI-base menu or iptables, containerize apps and desktops, and secure Internet browser with add-ons and plug-ins. I use EasyOS primarily for secure Internet browsing and web-base applications. JWM-ROX is new to me, so it is a new learning experience. EasyOS has numerous GUI-based applications built-in, everything you will need is installed. If something is missing, there are four package managers you can install the needed software. I use EasyOs on a live USB media and save sessions to the USB media as necessary. Documentation is a plus on the EasyOS website. The developer is working on a Youtube channel (work in progress) for video instructions. The defense-in-depth security model is a solution I always look for in a Linux distribution. I rather be relative-secure than sorry-safe !! There is no ABSOLUTE security with the right actor or hacker. Thank you EasyOS !!! Intermediate Linux User Was this review helpful?

Just as fast as MX though by default, you must choose a password at install, this is better security and the way to go I believe for ALL distros. Wallpapers are very ordinary. red-shift continually changes settings every time you connect to a power source which is quite annoying, so I removed it completely. This and blue tooth should be included in the 'start-up apps' to run or not depending on the user? Icons choice like wallpaper leaves little to desire, but hey, a great distro with a ton of software, choices, and security conscious, gets my thumbs up! Was this review helpful?
