Since version 6.4, EasyOS has gone through a few minor updates that usually addressed bugs and came with several package updates. Now, the 6.5 milestone is here, and the most important change is the new kernel, which is available for both Scarthgap and Daedalus. Otherwise, the remaining changes aren't going to have such a large impact on the overall system speed and user experience.
Without further ado, these are the changes mentioned in the official EasyOS 6.5 release notes:
- Kodi flatpak has been fixed.
- Xephyr server no longer has keyboard layout problems.
- EasyOS Scarthgap print setup bug has been fixed.
- The xrdb issue in the container was fixed.
- Both releases now feature the 6.6.61 kernel.
- OpenEmbedded compile of Chromium 130.0.6723.91.
The IMG file of the new EasyOS version has the same size as the previous milestone, so both 6.4 and 6.5 weigh in at 953 MB. Even at this compact size, there are quite a few essentials included in the package, which should offer all the tools needed by most users.
The fourth edition of Daniel J. Barrett's Linux Pocket Guide: Essential Commands is currently 22% off in paperback form ($23.49 instead of $29.99) and 25% off when acquiring the Kindle edition ($19.49 instead of $25.99).

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
