Taking EasyOS to the next-level

The upcoming V7 is already "next-level" or "a whole new ball game", with APT underpinning package management, so might as well also think about giving some enhancement treatment for Easy Containers.

Over the years, some users have expressed the desire to, and implemented, multiple desktops in containers. They had to do some hacking, so I thought, why not have them ready-made?

Another thing is, if you want to do some source code compiling, or use git or whatever, it is required to load the "devx" sfs file. Which we usually do onto the main desktop.

However, that is messy. It would be much tidier if can have a desktop in container, with devx sfs loaded, and minimal security so as not to impede development requirements. Then can go-to-town compiling packages and not mess up the main desktop. So why not have that also pre-built?

So, now bootup and lots more container icons:

Those "x2" and "x3" are clones of "excalibur". The "devx" container is also a desktop requires the devx sfs, and this will be downloaded, if not already, but as it is big, the user is asked:

There are currently some bugs and issues, so might take a couple of days to get it sorted. This post is a heads-up to let you know what is coming.
