I'll take a look later today..

Clearly, EasyOS is using a .img file. The make_vm_config function is where the image type is set. EasyOS should be added to the switch cases. Default behavior is to set guest OS to "linux" and image type to "iso".

Looks like it will need changes to both quickget and quickemu. I tried setting gest to batocera which also uses img to see if it would and it did. Not sure what other setting need to be made in quickemu to support easyos

just needs convert img to qcow2 to work. qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 "${ISO}" disk.qcow2 easy os as is like installed system on ext4 partition. Or for installation just unpack in any dir.

Not yet sure where to implement that...

FreeDOS, ReactOS, etc, have unarchiving in the create_vm function. You should put it there.
