Never heard of EasyOS either so I looked it up. It's definitely in a pretty interesting niche: In a traditional "full" installation, the filesystem occupies an entire partition, with the usual /etc, /bin, /usr, /proc, /sys, /tmp, etc. Easy does not install like this.
Easy installs to hard drive in what we call frugal mode, which occupies just one folder in a partition, allowing to co-exist with whatever else the partition is used for.
Installation is so simple: Just copy three files 'vmlinuz', 'initrd' and 'easy.sfs' into a folder in any ext4 partition, and that's it, Easy is installed. All that remains is to create an entry in the boot manager. [1] Generally seems to be a highly stripped down, security focused Linux distro. No systemd, polkit, or even PAM. Heavily container oriented. Feels a bit like a lighter alternative to Qubes OS. [1]: https://easyos.org/about/how-and-why-easyos-is-different.htm... |
