Not really the same thing or even comparable, AFAICS, no.
EtchaOS is for building a custom immutable distro, but it is a conventional distro with a root partition.
This is a distro which doesn't have a root partition. It doesn't just boot from the UEFI ESP: it fits entirely into it, with no other partitions.
- candiddevmike 2y agoIn EtchaOS, the entire distro is contained within the initrd file. So I guess it's technically two files, kernel and initrd, but still similar. UKIs and similar are nice but don't play well with secure boot (unless you setup your own signing) and BIOS boot.
