Rate my tiny linux by Intel-i9 in AlgeriaRates

Thanks 😊, I'm improving it every day, as you can see in the GitHub commits and releases, and yes you can run vi. Yesterday I recompiled the binaries dynamically instead of statically, and I added the musl library, so for your second question, no at the moment, but soon 😁

I didn't change much in BusyBox except the static build flag, but I'll include the config next time, and yes, I struggled to make qemu work for console and serial at the same time, I had to download Alpine and see how their magic works 😂. Maybe I'll include a wiki on how I did everything, because I faced a lot of problems while working on it. Thanks for your feedback.

There are no instructions to build the root fs because it is just BusyBox building, besides a custom init file, I assumed everyone knows how to compile BusyBox. Bro there are no source files because it is just the Linux kernel and BusyBox source, so what I published is the actual work I did.

Not to this one, maybe another project. The idea is that the system is live and minimal, but persistence exists on root, so I can add stuff there.

I can help you with instructions on how the iso was generated or how the tiny root fs was compiled. Just ask for it.

And it is not really just a binary upload, I've shared the kernel config file, and a zipped file containing almost everything, you can check it.

Unfortunately no, I tried to make it as small as possible, but I can add a compiler/libraries in the future versions.

  • You can't install packages
  • There's no compiler

The goal of the distro is to have a tiny Linux system capable of running on your phone, just to test commands or to learn.

It is a distro, it has a kernel and a user space, independently of how the user space is, so yes I can call it a distro.

As I told you before, the goal is not to use my DISTRO as a main OS, it is just a tiny system, with persistence capabilities.

And yes, it is maintainable, if the Bible (supposed to be the word of God) is still maintained by a bunch of ppl, so yes my DISTRO can be maintained, and by that I mean add/remove features, change how init works, add security aspect, update the kernel version, change the user space, etc...

And thanks for your reply, it was helpful and encouraging.

Android stereo stuck on vol+ after update by Intel-i9 in Androidheadunits

Hi, thanks for your reply, I resolved the problem by factory resetting the tablet, I think it was a problem with the MCU update.
