EasyOS Daedalus-series version 6.6.5 released — March 30, 2025

A lot of "water under the bridge" since then; releases of Kirkstone-series and Scarthgap-series has happened. Both of these are built with packages compiled in OpenEmbedded, Kirkstone being older and retired except still getting the occasional maintenance release. Scarthgap is current, and was my recommended choice for newcomers, until recently; The Daedalus-series is built with packages from Debian/Devuan Bookworm/Daedalus, hence has access to the very large package repository. Users have expressed a preference for the larger repository.

For Easy Daedalus, a lot has happened since version 6.6.5:
