ext4 support has returned in Limine bootloader
See discussion at github:
https://github.com/limine-bootloader/limine/issues/386
In a nutshell, Limine is a bootloader that is much simpler to use than grub2.
It is suitable for any GNU/Linux distro, not just EasyOS. Can boot backdoored Windows also.
Limine, up until v5, supports fat12/16/32 and ext2/3/4, no other filesystems.
The developer mintsuki has an ideology to keep Limine very simple, and she considered that the kernel vmlinuz and initrd could be in a fat partition, so could drop support for ext2/3/4. -
