Barry Kauler, the founder of the Puppy Linux project, has released EasyOS 7.0, combining Puppy Linux technologies with container isolation for system component execution. The distribution is managed through a set of graphical configurators developed by the project. The size of the boot image is 1 GB. <\/p>\n
Features of the distribution: <\/p>\n
\n
Each application, as well as the desktop itself, can be launched in separate containers using the Easy Containers mechanism for isolation. <\/li>\n
By default, operations are performed with root privileges, which are dropped upon launching each application since EasyOS is positioned as a Live system for a single user. <\/li>\n
The distribution is installed in a separate subdirectory and can coexist with other data on the storage device (the system is installed in \/releases\/easy-7.0, user data is saved in the \/home directory, and additional application containers are placed in the \/containers directory). <\/li>\n
Encryption of individual subdirectories (for example, \/home) is supported. <\/li>\n
Meta-packages in SFS format can be installed, which are mountable images with Squashfs, combining several regular packages and essentially resembling AppImage, Snap, and Flatpak formats. <\/li>\n
The system updates in an atomic mode (the new version is copied to another directory, and the active directory is switched with the system) and supports reverting changes in case of issues after the update. <\/li>\n
There is a mode for running from RAM, in which the system is copied to memory at boot and operates without accessing disks. <\/li>\n
The distribution is built using the WoofQ2 toolkit and source texts from the Debian project. <\/li>\n
The desktop is based on the JWM window manager and ROX file manager. <\/li>\n
The base package includes applications such as Firefox, LibreOffice, Scribus, Inkscape, GIMP, mtPaint, Dia, Gpicview, the Geany text editor, Fagaros password manager, HomeBank personal finance management system, DidiWiki personal wiki, Osmo organizer, Planner project manager, Notecase notes system, Pidgin, Audacious music player, Celluloid, VLC and MPV media players, LiVES video editor, and OBS Studio streaming system. <\/li>\n
To simplify file sharing and organize printer access, there is a proprietary application called EasyShare. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/center> <\/p>\n
Changes in EasyOS 7.0 include: <\/p>\n
\n
The new WoofQ2 toolkit has been utilized for building the distribution, based on the APT package manager from the Debian project. The graphical interface for the PKGget package manager has been revamped as a wrapper over APT.\n
Instead of OpenEmbedded packages, packages from the Devuan 13 distribution (Debian 13 without systemd) with the busybox init initialization system have been used, extended with the service management mechanism pup_event.\n
A one-click deployable pre-configured container \"devx\" has been added, which includes a set of tools for application development.\n
The base package includes the SpaceFM file manager and the SeaMonkey browser.\n
A new applet with a system tray has been proposed.
