Easy2Boot vs TFLint

Easy2Boot creates a multiboot USB drive for starting operating system installers, live systems and utilities. It runs on Linux and Windows, and the download includes three menu systems based on grub4dos, grubfm and Ventoy. Users add payloads by copying ISO, IMG and VHD files to the USB drive; listed payloads include Windows and Linux images, DOS programs and floppy images. For supported UEFI payloads, .imgPTN partition images can be used for Secure Boot. Easy2Boot can automate Windows installations with drivers, software, configuration, scripts and updates. Linux setup calls for an MBR partition layout and requires partition 4 to remain unused. The download guidance recommends a USB drive between 8GB and 2TB; larger drives may use 4K sectors or lack legacy boot support. Direct Secure UEFI32 booting to the agFM menu is not supported. The menu system uses open-source components and plain-text scripts, but the download also includes closed-source Windows utilities. Easy2Boot is free to use, but not for resale. Support options include a forum, live developer help, eBooks and online chat.

TFLint is a local command-line linter for Terraform, with checks supplied by plugins. Its bundled language rules can flag deprecated syntax and unused declarations, while cloud-specific checks look for potential errors in AWS, Azure and GCP configurations, including invalid instance types. It can also enforce best practices and naming conventions. Extend it with plugins, create your own, or write policies in Rego. An optional `--fix` flag can correct issues automatically, and reports can be emitted in default, JSON, Checkstyle, JUnit, compact or SARIF formats. TFLint runs on Linux, macOS and Windows and is free, with no free trial. The project provides a GitHub Action and Docker image; installation options include Homebrew, WinGet and Go. Most files use MPL 2.0, some files in the Terraform package use BUSL 1.1, and release binaries are bound by both licenses. The project recommends verifying release checksums with GitHub CLI artifact attestations and identifies Cosign signatures as deprecated.
