Install to SSD tutorial updated
I have updated this tutorial:
https://easyos.org/install/how-to-install-easyos-on-a-new-ssd.html
As well as updating it, I also endeavoured to make it simpler. The
problem is, if a lot of detail is provided, some people have a very low
threshold for absorbing information, and they flounder.
It has to be a tradeoff, and in this page I have moved toward less detail, unless it is strictly required.
What has prompted this, is the comment of one person that the EasyOS
documentation is "confusing at best". This is from the user-reviews at
distrowatch.com:
https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=ratings&distro=easyos
The average so far is 7.7/10, which is reasonable!
Anyway, for those who cannot cope with anything more than short,
completely dumbed-down tutorials, I hope to achieve a balance that they
can strive to comprehend.
Then there was one person complaining that Easy does not have
Synaptic package manager or Thunderbird! Ha ha, please close the door on
your way out.
EasyOS is an experimental distribution, compiled entirely from
source, and has a small collection of packages. It has a package
manager, in fact two, SFSget and PETget, and a Thunderbird-equivalent in
the SeaMonkey suite.
But this is another problem, people complain if the distribution is
unfamiliar, if the procedures and apps are different. There is no
interest in learning or adapting. This is another class of people that
should quietly move-on.
I am having bit of a whinge, but why not, it is frustrating to read
the posts of those unwilling to embrace what EasyOS is all about. Not
that I really care, I don't really want Easy to become "popular", just a
niche player for those interested in its unique features.
