EasyOS "Buster series" is built with DEB packages from Debian Buster 10.x. Some of the most important news of the version:
- Almost all packages are compiled in OpenEmbedded, except for a few large and hard-to-cross packages, such as LibreOffice and SeaMonkey - these were compiled in EasyOS 2.7.
- LibreOffice and SeaMonkey are the latest versions, 7.1.2.2 and 2.53.7.
- Network management has been improved with ModemManager, for which the NetworkManager application and ModemManage GUI are front-ends.
- The NetworkManager applet is a system icon, and the ModemManager GUI is in the "Network" menu.
- The Linux kernel is 5.10.26.
- Some significant bug fixes since the previous release of EasyOS, including a faster launch of a Linux distribution desktop in a container (without wallpaper corruption), Osmo stability and XorgWizard, which previously caused X not to start.
EasyOS is released as an image file, which you would normally write to a USB Flash stick and which will automatically resize to fill the drive on first boot. Or, it may be installed directly on a hard drive, without even starting from a USB stick first.
There are versions for English, French, German and Norwegian (both nb and nn), which are completely translated ready to use.
