off the rip, where tf is the download? It is hard to find. Outside of that, it seems like a really interesting distro. Running mostly everything as root strikes me as kinda nuts but it seems like there is a lot of containerization and most apps run as their own user so it mitigates some of that risk. Im going to check it out, I like the idea of non-standard linux distros and leveraging containers and squashfs archives.
I wouldn’t advocate running everything as root either but it is worth noting that most of the valuable information (bank account details, for example) are going to be stored under your current user rather than root.
What we really need is a better way to segregate sensitive user applications from non-sensitive ones. Like Firefox containers but closer to an application level and something that is easier for the average user to manage than the likes of SELinux.
Maybe that’s the point of the containers in EasyOS?
It's s gentle hint to read at least something about the system. Helps newbies to learn how something works before complaining that it doesn't, and does not affect experienced users who are more interested in ideas behind the work, and start with documentation.
There is no rule that everything should have a giant green download button promising some kind of instant satisfaction.
