EasyOS is an experimental Linux distribution that either will renew your passion for using something different or leave you disappointed in its oddball approach to computing. EasyOS is a blend of the best ideas from Puppy Linux and the now discontinued Quirky Linux. I have used several of the popular Puppy Linux variants over the years. I adopted Quirky Linux a few years ago as my go-to Linux distro on a USB stick, for use on other people’s computers while in the field. Software developer Barry Kauler developed all three.
your expertise in puppylinux is obvious and I appreciate it. My daily OS is quirky-beaver and will try to move to EasyOS, thanks for your input.
I always enjoy reading your Puppy related articles. You are one of the rather few persons who can understand and appreciate the work and insight in them. Thank you.
I'm a relatively new Puppy user, or a Puppy-derivative user to be accurate. I'm still learning and understanding its "intricacies", so to speak, although it's much easier than others distros I've tried.
If I'm not using EasyOS is just for trivial, personal matters, or tastes, maybe. Containers yet have no use to me, I don't get along with jwm (I prefer Openbox), 64bit are totally unnecessary to me yet, I'd hate to write my pass each and everytime I boot my system and "experimental" at my age is a "no-no" ;-)
But I can assure you this: when the time came to move me away from 32bits to 64bits, EasyOS will be quite an option to take into account.
