Barry Kauler, the founder of the Puppy Linux project, has released the EasyOS 5.4 distribution, merging Puppy Linux technologies with container isolation for running system components. Management of the distribution is conducted through a set of graphical configurators developed by the project. The size of the boot image is 860 MB.
Karakteristike distribucije:
- Svaka aplikacija, kao i sam radni stol, mogu biti pokrenuti u posebnim kontejnerima, koristeći sopstveni mehanizam za izolaciju Easy Containers.
- Podrazumevano, rad se obavlja sa root pravima uz poništavanje privilegija prilikom pokretanja svake aplikacije, budući da se EasyOS pozicionira kao Live sistem jednog korisnika.
- 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-5.4, user data is saved in the /home directory, and additional application containers are placed in the /containers directory).
- Podržava se enkripcija posebnih poddirektorija (na primer, /home).
- Moguća je instalacija meta-paketa u SFS formatu, koji predstavljaju montirane slike sa Squashfs, koje okupljaju više običnih paketa i suštinski podsećaju na formate appimages, snaps i flatpak.
- Sistem se ažurira u atomskom režimu (nova verzija se kopira u drugi direktorij i aktivni direktorij sa sistemom se prebacuje) i podržava vraćanje izmena u slučaju problema nakon ažuriranja.
- Postoji režim pokretanja iz RAM-a, gde se pri pokretanju sistem kopira u memoriju i radi bez pristupa diskovima.
- Za izradu distribucije koristi se alat WoofQ i izvorni kod paketa iz projekta OpenEmbedded.
- Radni stol se zasniva na upravljaču prozora JWM i upravitelju datoteka ROX.
- Osnovni paket uključuje aplikacije kao što su Firefox, LibreOffice, Scribus, Inkscape, GIMP, mtPaint, Dia, Gpicview, uređivač teksta Geany, menadžer lozinki Fagaros, sistem upravljanja ličnim finansijama HomeBank, ličnu Wiki DidiWiki, organizator Osmo, menadžer projekata Planner, sistem beleški Notecase, Pidgin, muzički plejer Audacious, medijske plejeri Celluloid, VLC i MPV, video editor LiVES, sistem za strimovanje OBS Studio.
- Za poenostavitev izmenjave datotek in organizacijo skupnega dostopa do tiskalnikov je na voljo lastna aplikacija EasyShare.
U novom izdanju:
- Four package managers are available for use: PKGget, SFSget, Flapi, and Appi, with the last two intended for installing and managing packages in Flatpak and AppImage formats.
- For application isolation, each program runs under a separate user ID, for example, the video editor Kdenlive runs under the user 'kdenlive'.
- Many packages have been updated. Packages in the distribution have been rebuilt from source using the OpenEmbedded/Yocto Kirkstone 4.0 project metadata.
- Support for the Russian language has been significantly improved.
- Chromium has been set as the default browser, but options to quickly launch Firefox and Vivaldi have been added to the menu (each browser also runs under its own separate user).
- Upon first boot, there is an option to generate gnupg keys and change the root user password.
- The interface for configuring sound cards (MSCW, Multiple Sound Card Wizard) has been improved.
- The interface for initial language setup has been enhanced.
- A switch has been added to enable and disable the touchpad.
- Ext4 fscrypt has been upgraded to version 2.
- New applications gWaveEdit and Hexchat have been added, along with configurators EasyJWM, EasySetup, and EasyApps, providing a graphical interface for managing the window manager, the system, and applications.
- Built-in support for Vmware/vmwgfx has been integrated, and drivers for enhancing graphics performance when running in QEMU and VirtualBox have been added.
