We've successfully tested and verify that BlissOS can be able to boot on an exFAT partition. The test is done on a Windows 10 VM, we split the Windows disk and format it to exFAT directly on Disk Management. After that, we copy kernel, initrd.img, system.sfs from a BlissOS 15 iso and then create data.img by using dd & mkfs.ext4 provided by Cygwin. Then we install Grub2Win and make a simple option for it.

Compare to FAT32, exFAT provide a major advantage in which you can be able to create data.img larger than 4GB and the speed should be the same, or even better on exFAT side. When comparing to NTFS, while exFAT speed is considered slower than NTFS, we don't know exactly how slow because the performance when booting on NTFS is being taxed too. We are using NTFS-3G driver (https://github.com/tuxera/ntfs-3g) which is an userspace driver that use FUSE so the speed is not high comparing to NTFS driver on Windows.

If you want another file-system option for the BlissOS drive that Windows can still be able to read it beside FAT32 & NTFS, there's now exFAT. However, we still recommend using EXT4, as this is what Linux & Android usually use, and it's literally faster than both of these options.

Also, there is no plan for exFAT as an option for the bootable installer yet.

New releases of BlissOS will be postponed for the next two weeks. Although new releases were planned for this week, changes in development have caused us to delay them. We hope everyone can patiently wait for good news in the next two weeks.

Meanwhile, Bliss Co-Labs customers don’t have to worry; we are still online over there. Only the community builds of BlissOS will be postponed.

We've found out that Grub2Win, a software that is being used by us and many others to install and manage Grub2 for Windows, is doing something malicious. One user report to us that the installer of Grub2Win will check the IP Address and block Russian users from installing. This new change in the installer does not being mentioned anywhere in Grub2Win's SourceForge page from the Summary page, to the readme and the changelog. We only found a post of it talking about the shadiness of the action :
https://sourceforge.net/p/grub2win/discussion/general/thread/5f2b4a34f4/

With the developer response, and the lack of warning or notice in the SourceForge page, we can not recommend anyone to use this software anymore. Starting from now, we will remove all the mention out from our Documentation. We will also removing mentioning of SupremeGamers' Advanced Android-x86 Installer because it's using Grub2Win. Last but not least, we will not providing support for any case that is using Grub2Win to install BlissOS.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

[WIP] v6 of the OEM install changes - MBR option

Been working on updating our broken AUTO_INSTALL boot options and in the process, added a couple more unattended install options:
- OEM Install (same as old auto-install)
- OEM Install - Force MBR (the one in the video)
- OEM Install - Force EFI
- OEM Install - Force (autodetect MBR/EFI)

For MBR, I moved to using sfdisk instead of passing arguments through fdisk. This allowed us to add a redundancy method as well.
The install will try and use sfdisk to format MBR, but if the users partitions are too messed up, it will use sgdisk to wipe, then recreate, and convert to mbr afterwards, fixing any messed up partition schemes in the process.

nevermind, we got exFAT on the bootable installer now

Our Bliss OS project is going through a lot of development changes recently, and the pace of progress doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon. 
Due to this, we would like to find some right-brained individuals that can donate their time and abilities to help roll out website updates, graphics, marketing materials, and more.
