Why are more devices and OS not supported?
Due to resource constraints the /e/OS team cannot support all the work needed to add more devices or other operating systems. Here we request users in the community with development experience to help us on:
- Porting the Easy Installer to MacOS
- the java software should run without issues
- some development work may be required on the script to port it
- Support new devices
- with its architecture based configuration files, it is easy to add new devices
Tip: We share details on how you can add more devices in this document
