Trying out some new Linux VMs today. I haven't used Kali in a couple of years, I thought I would take a look.
I can't remember the last time I tried Puppy. Of course I use Fedora quite a bit, nothing new here.
I had a consulting gig a few years back that was big SuSE shop. But again, it' been a few years for that one too.
All of these are fairly easy to install. Some people say Arch is easy to install. I would disagree. If you're experienced,
it's not so bad. If you're a newbie, I still say it's more difficult to install than most. Once you get it up and running, it's
really about the same as the others. I finally deleted my Ubuntu instance, I didn't mind Ubuntu, I was just out of hard
drive space and RAM, so something had to go.
As an aside, it's a bit amusing how Red Hat or Ubuntu get heat for being a business but everyone ignores SUSE.
True, but even so. I think it's a very under-rated distro. It takes a little getting used to, but it's not bad at all.
It uses something called Yast2, but even that it is pretty easy to use.
Suse is a significant contributor to the linux kernel ... not as much as Red Hat, but quite substantial as outlined here:
I ran openSUSE for quite a while.
And? If anything, that means folks should shade at RH even less. They all three contribute a ton, some less than others but still a ton. Heck, I'd like to see that chart with MSFT's contributions included in it.
Any contribution greater than zero should be applauded, as far as I'm concerned.
Nice desktop! Is that display on the right produced by conky?

I run Easy as a second portable OS. One of the reasons I just joined here is because of the mention of Easy. I'm not sure folks understand what Barry has actually created there with Easy. The default concept is absolutely fantastic and I have been playing with it a lot lately as a dedicated project. It is one of the most secure Operating Systems available out of the box. Others like Tails can't hold a candle to this Distro, just the speed alone blows Tails out of the water let alone the default containerization. And Barry is absolutely right, time to ditch the .iso protocol and move to Images... .iso needs to become obsolete...
This is the best feature of Easy OS imo.
Totally isolated from drives
The boot menu has an option "Copy session to RAM & disable drives", which boots to a desktop with power of administrator (root) in all respects except totally isolated from the drives of the PC. This is an alternative to using containers, and is intended to be even more secure than containers. An introduction is here.

Oh yes... Absolutely! And no systemd. Is there another thread on here dedicated to Easy?
