Hm. Why not just run Qubes https://www.qubes-os.org/ instead? Especially with a custom container format, that seems like it's ripe for disappearing when the founder/creator gets tired or bored.

A non secondary aspect worth mentioning when evaluating EasyOS is that is mostly a one-man-project and that the author is the same behind Puppy Linux, so some choice are inherited from those, as can be read from https://easyos.org/about/how-and-why-easyos-is-different.html
Also:
> Easy is an experimental distribution, and the features may change, and some features are a work-in-progress.
So should be taken for what it is and also appreciated how much effort is done and the achieved results rather than "how different from the usual stuff is": that's its value.

tux2bsd,
Agreed.
I still have no idea how they compare to other container operating systems like CoreOS (Fedora), or Nix.

Their webpage is an abomination.
This is what the OS desktop looks like: https://easyos.org/install/images/easyos-desktop.jpg
Yikes.

I've been to this site several times in the past and what strikes me is that, it's installation process is archaic. I know the owner thinks that ISOs are horrible, but I don't get to the point were I understand all of his arguments 1) because I don't care that much, 2) I'm interested in trying out the ideas you expressed in EasyOS in your artcle, but... I'm not going back 25 + years to install a Linux distribution. It was years and years ago when I said to myself, "I'm no longer spending any Saturdays attempting to figure out why this rpm package won't install (pre-auto dependency resolution)," and I won't and I don't. I also do not not intend to start from scratch to install a Linux distribution - from the disk up. EasyOS - of all the names that could have been chosen?
