EasyOS version 7.4.90 maybe 7.5RC

As reported in previous post, kernel 7.2.6 and built with excalibur-backports packages:

Anyone interested in testing it?

Is this kernel OK on old PCs? With all of those backports, do all the apps and utilities still run OK?

If this new version ticks all the boxes, I don't see why not make it a Release Candidate for Easy 7.5.

I haven't made it available as an update from Easy 7.4.10, as decided to be cautious. Maybe just do a standalone new install of 7.4.90, then test as much as possible. An EASYCLONE file could probably be used, in fact, I'm going to do that next.

There could be an update of 7.4.10 or earlier, just extract the three files out of the7.4.90 .img file.

I'll start a new forum thread.

Ha ha, those of you who have been following my posts for awhile will know I'm currently doing the "nomad" thing, living in caravan parks and campgrounds. Where I'm currently staying, there is free Starlink wifi, but very slow upload. The easy-7.4.90-amd64.img file, at 1.1GB, took about 5 hours to upload! Might be a good idea to check the md5sum after download.
