ABOUT
Exton|OS is based on Ubuntu 24.04 64 bit and Debian Sid.
Exton|OS ISO file is a ISO-hybrid, which means that it can easily be transferred (copied) to a USB stick.
IMPORTANT ABOUT REFRACTA TOOLS
Refracta tools are pre-installed in Exton|OS . Use Refracta Snapshot to create your own live installable Ubuntu system.
RUNS FROM RAM
Another great thing is that Exton|OS can run from RAM. Use Boot alternative 2 (Load to RAM). When the system has booted up you can remove the disc (DVD/CD) or USB stick. You'll need at least 4 GB RAM to run Exton|OS that way. I.e. super fast!
USB installation
To enable persistence you can install Exton|OS to a USB stick in the same way as a hard drive installation. You can use Refracta Installer.
ANDROID STUDIO
You can emulate different Android systems (with GAPPS). If you have plenty of RAM you can do it live. I.e. while running Exton|OS from a USB stick.
VirtualBox Guest Additions are pre-installed.
