EasyOS Dunfell-series version 2.8 for the Raspberry Pi4

June 05, 2021 — BarryK

EasyOS 64-bit version 2.6 for the Pi4 was released in January 2021, see blog announcement:

Mostly since then I have been working on the x86_64 PC build of EasyOS, however, things have been happening with the Pi4 build. I don't have detailed release notes, as a lot of things happened and I didn't post to the blog. However, some notes:

  1. Complete recompile in OpenEmbedded with glibc 2.33
  2. SeaMonkey now 2.53.7.1
  3. Linux kernel now 5.10.39+

I have been using it, works real nice.

Download English, German and French builds here:

Recommend SD-card of at least 4GB and Class-10. EasyOS will automatically expand to fill the entire drive.
