Introducing OpenSuperClone-Live: A Modern Replacement for HDDLiveCD
Download Now: OpenSuperClone-Live Version 24.08.02
We are thrilled to unveil OpenSuperClone-Live (OSC-Live), a cutting-edge Linux-based live operating system crafted as a more advanced and reliable replacement for the renowned HDDLiveCD. This project, which has been under development sporadically over recent months, leverages the capabilities of OpenSuperClone—a continuously supported fork of HDDSuperClone—to offer superior performance and updated features.
While I am not directly involved in maintaining the OpenSuperClone project, its repository can be accessed here: OpenSuperClone GitHub.
Key Enhancements and Resolutions
- Migration to OpenSuperClone: This transformation from HDDSuperClone to OpenSuperClone brings substantial bug fixes, interface enhancements, and updated Linux kernel drivers, ensuring smooth operations.
- Updated Operating System Base: We have upgraded the base from Xubuntu 18.04 to Xubuntu 20.04, paved by the latest kernel driver integrations. Future compatibility with more recent Linux versions is anticipated upon the release of OSC’s beta branch.
- Enhanced UEFI Support: Updated secure boot certificates bolster compatibility with modern UEFI firmware, eradicating adverse warnings previously seen in Rufus related to “revoked certificates.”
- Universal ISO Hybrid Format: The transition to a standard isohybrid format means you can now create live USBs using almost any tool supporting Linux/Ubuntu ISO files. Notably, MacOS users can easily generate bootable USBs using utilities like Balena Etcher or simply the
dd
command. - Custom Boot Menus: Custom boot menu options now enable users to conveniently disable specific ATA ports in Direct AHCI Mode.
