Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

Version 6.8 Daedalus series, of this carry on the pocket live OS.
It directly follows 6.5 (Note 6.6 updated previous 6.3, Scarp)
New is the use of Linux Kernel 6.6.x. In sort, very very good.
NOTE: '10' is related to Pocket OS kind, not General distros.

PROs:
New kernel makes it faster, even safer. Great job!
As long awaited update solves various glitches found on v6.5.

CONs:
Menu is unusual. But that is because it's not Mint, not Ubuntu.
It takes a bit of time to find what's different. It has to be small.

Added repositories (some people may have particular needs).
As long as one further App added, or maybe two, the purpose
seems to be "Keep it small, stupid". Not for laptop, but pocket.Di

To conclude:
Stated elsewhere: "Keep it clean", "Save manually" =rarely.
Great job, And NO, it's not Ubuntu, nor Arch. It's a pocket OS.
Big distros to where they belong, this one is to keep small.

I am very disappointed.
EasyOS does not allow Veracrypt or cryptsetup by default.
fscrypt, developed by Google, does not encrypt metadata.
fscrypt is not as reliable as Veracrypt or cryptsetup.

I was very happy to be able to use the Brave browser, but when I booted from RAM, I could not start Brave. Very disappointing.

easyos-img does not check digital signatures.
cheaksum is md5. md5 is not recommended. Other mainstream distros use sha256sum or sha512sum, use PGP and can verify signatures.

BarryK said on the forum, I don't know anything about LUKS, so don't know how to get it to work. I am disappointed.
How can you use Linux for years and not use LUKS?

I am alarmed and concerned when attention to detail is not paid.
I was very disappointed overall because my expectations were very high.
This distribution is a toy. Cannot be used for anything important.

6.5.3, actually.
In spite of a few problems with external toools, yes, give it a 10 (9.5 not available)

*** The Good
Never suspected EasyOS would be a life saver. It has been.
Or that it would allow a safe inet connection when attacks come from everywhere.
It did, Thanks to the ability to reload the unsafest presence on every system:
- The X11 Grapic System, or...

...ANY graphic system working wit Java.
Browsers try to minimise those weaknessses.
Better take the flaws for granted, and survive.
... That's what EasyOS does (if you are there).

*** The now trashed:
There's an old package of TOR browser, based on an old kernel.
For one of those reasons, it become an open door to insistent attacks.
Usually witout problems after a reboot. But... latelly to avoid.
Rater have a recent TOR system directlly available instead one
dependent from indirect updates (middleman corruption)
... Maybe later.

*** Meanwhhile:
Firefox with NoScript are now fairly reinforced with the new
"Each tool is a different user" strategy now followed by EasyOS.

*** In conclusion:
For me, is no longer an Easy Carry System. No...
... It's the only acceptable what to go into the dangers of the Inet.
