Why the ISO format has to die
November 14, 2022 — BarryK Page originally created December 28, 2021 Updated: November 14, 2022 EasyOS ships as a .img file, that is written to a drive. Barry stopped shipping EasyOS as an ISO file from early 2020.
I replied that it doesn't matter what is on the drive beforehand, just use Etcher or easydd or some other tool that will write the image file to the usb-stick, then boot from the stick and you are good-to-go. Unlike the entrenched "pro ISO" elderly Linux users, who just "dig their heels in" and re-state their fossilized opinions. Fast forward to November 2022, editing this page, I will add a more fundamental reason why I don't want to release EasyOS on an ISO anymore: it undermines what Easy is all about.
