EndeavourOS is a Arch Linux-based Linux distribution. EndeavourOS began as a successor to Antergos , a discontinued distribution also based on Arch Linux. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It uses the same rolling release schedule as Arch Linux, but periodically releases updated installation media ( ISO files).
The boot loader automatically detected bootable images (including operating systems and other boot loaders), did not require a configuration file, provided a basic menu-based interface, and could also integrate with systemd to provide performance data. [1]
This list is for operating systems distributions that are specifically designed to boot off a (writable) USB flash drive, often called a USB stick. (This does not include operating system distributions with a simplified "installer" designed to boot from a USB drive, but the full OS is intended to be installed on a hard drive). Tin Hat Linux
The migration to systemd as its init system started in August 2012, [23] and it became the default on new installations in October 2012. [24] It replaced the SysV-style init system, used since the distribution's inception.
In UEFI systems, the Linux kernel can be executed directly by UEFI firmware via the EFI boot stub, [8] but usually uses GRUB 2 or systemd-boot as a bootloader. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] If UEFI Secure Boot is supported, a "shim" or "Preloader" is often booted by the UEFI before the bootloader or EFI-stub-bearing kernel. [ 11 ]
Systemd-boot is a simple UEFI boot manager that loads and runs configured EFI images, accessing only the EFI system partition. Configuration file fragments, kernel images and initrd images are required to reside on the EFI system partition, as systemd-boot does not provide support for accessing files on other partitions or file systems.
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.The specific problem is: Active distributions composed entirely of free software (Dragora GNU/Linux-Libre, gNewSense, Guix System, LibreCMC, Musix GNU+Linux, Parabola GNU/Linux-libre, and Trisquel) need information in all sub categories, #General is complete.
Dracut is a set of tools that provide enhanced functionality for automating the Linux boot process. The tool named dracut is used to create a Linux boot image ( initramfs ) by copying tools and files from an installed system and combining it with the Dracut framework, which is usually found in /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d .
