Krutonium://Is there any <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Distro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Distro</a> that specifically caters to older <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/i686" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#i686</a> computers/laptops as a first class citizen?

Kevin Karhan :verified:<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@rory" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rory</a> Yeah, I get what you mean, with THICC Distros like <a href="https://ubuntu.social/@ubuntu" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ubuntu</a> having dropped <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/i686" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#i686</a> support half a decade ago...I do however think that <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/thinn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thinn</a> and <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/minimalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minimalist</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> isn't just possible (see <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TinyCore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TinyCore</a>) but also could be made to work from a single 1440kB 3,5" FDD...And I do work on that - see <a href="https://infosec.exchange/@OS1337" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@OS1337</a> ...And yes, I do want it to be a <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/KISS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KISS</a>-principled <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/embedded" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#embedded</a> & <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/desktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#desktop</a> (<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/CLI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CLI</a>) <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/distro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#distro</a> that works on anything from an <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/i486" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#i486</a>-SX and up with 16MB RAM...

Kevin Karhan :verified:Wow, <a href="https://mstdn.social/@linux" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@linux</a> does actually improve efficiency over time...I just compiled a minimal kernel 6.5 for OS/1337 targeting <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/i486" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#i486</a> instead of <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/i686" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#i686</a> and the resulting binary is even 10kB smaller than the one for 6.4.12...For real: That's awesome cuz it allows me to make the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Floppy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Floppy</a> version for <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/486SX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#486SX</a> a reality and still have <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Toybox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Toybox</a> & <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/dropbear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dropbear</a> as <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SSH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SSH</a> client in it...Cudos to <a href="https://social.kernel.org/users/torvalds" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@torvalds</a> and the maintainers for that: They really did cleanup the codebase and made it <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/smol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smol</a>|ler!<a href="https://mstdn.social/@kkarhan/110965679190470398" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mstdn.social/@kkarhan/110965679190470398</a>

Kevin Karhan :verified:So for those asking, the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/1440kB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#1440kB</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Floppy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Floppy</a> Version of OS/1337 will be a better <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Floppinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Floppinux</a> with <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Ethernet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ethernet</a> & <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Network" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Network</a> support and packing in <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Dropbear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dropbear</a> as <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SSH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SSH</a> client.So you could at the very least use it as a <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SSH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SSH</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Terminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Terminal</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/distro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#distro</a>...Sadly this means it will require at least an <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/i686" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#i686</a> and won't run on an <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/i486" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#i486</a> anymore as a lot of memory was eaten up by <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/486SX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#486SX</a> workaround code in the kernel...<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/OS1337" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OS1337</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Development" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Development</a>
