EasyOS

Have any RISC OS users dabbled with EasyOS? Apparently this variety of Linux can run on an Rpi4 and from what I have read about its user-interface philosophy it might well be more appealing to RISC OS users than most others.

If it could run a NAS that RISCOS (running on another Pi4) and recent MacOSes could access reliably, I’d be VERY interested…should I try to follow it up?

Gavin; I don’t see it as any smaller hurdle to overcome than any other Linux as far as RISC OS die hards are concerned.

Clive; any Linux distro can do that, I would recommend sticking to Raspberry Pi OS, full or Lite, as there will be far more support for that on the Pi than other niche distros.

Cheers, David – I’ll give that a whirl. I’ve been using USB sticks to transfer files between the Mac and the Pi since the Mac’s latest OS update stuffed all my other methods up. Well – not all: I can put things in a private directory on my website from the Mac, and download them to the Pi, but can’t do that in the other direction.

Clive, have you tried pairdrop.net ? I use it to transfer files between my Rpi5 and PinebookPro.

There’s always pCloud.

Up to 10gb free cloud storage, runs on Windows, macOS and can be used on RISC OS via CloudFS (from Elesar or via the NutPi ).
