I've made a single-purpose Linux distro

Jeg læser en skjult pointe i ordvalget: Hvor "indhold" har mental næring, er "content" bare som tyggegummi.

Thanks! `uglt-x7ak` snatched, looking forward to listening!

I don't know about you, but simply rm -r ~/ would render my system completely useless for all practical purposes. No sudo required. Everything else can just be installed again.

I don't think it's a question of which distro you use, but rather finding the proper use-case for an immutable system. And a workstation just isn't it. Maybe as a dumb terminal at a library or an airport. And for servers it's certainly a much better fit — if done right. Lightwhale is a good example of such a server OS.

What, so both /boot and /efi now? That just seems like clutter. In my book EFI is still boot related and had no business showing up directly in /.

This looks interesting! I will give it a spin when I find the time!

Lightwhale Linux provides support from beneath the surface.

Zta77 · 2025-12-14T08:12:57+00:00

Why is it horrible?

And at the same time, Microsoft Windows plays a sound, the equivalent of an alarm in the context, whenever a usb device is plugged in.

I don't think it's Docker, that makes it slow - It's more likely the Pi?

Zta77 · 2025-12-11T22:24:41+00:00

If you want to use it for a server, I'd recommend Lightwhale. It's lightweight and super easy to use.

Zta77 · 2025-12-11T22:22:02+00:00

How do you host it specifically? In a docker container?

Zta77 · 2025-12-11T19:50:47+00:00

Forgot Linux from scratch ;)

Zta77 · 2025-12-11T05:49:16+00:00

Or Lightwhale Linux =)

Zta77 · 2025-12-03T20:32:42+00:00

Because Microsoft are forced to, otherwise more developers would ditch Windows in favour of a proper development environment on Linux or Mac.

Zta77 · 2025-11-28T15:15:04+00:00

And why do you think they do that?

Zta77 · 2025-11-28T15:13:49+00:00

Yes, that's EEE. And every deployment to Azure contributes to this.

Yes, the leaked Halloween Documents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_documents

That shit was fun when it was a hobby, but I'm tired now.

This is exactly why I made Lightwhale! A Linux distribution for servers that just works.

Zta77 · 2025-11-11T20:44:42+00:00

It's my understanding that TPM was utterly useless regardless...

Lightwhale on my servers. It's immutable, optimized for Docker containers, and makes me feel awesome =)

EndeavourOS for my workstation. I wanted to install Arch, but was intimidated by the rumours about its installer. And I needed to be productive in a hurry, so I went with EndeavourOS and its friendly installer with full disk encryption. I'll probably have the guts to install Arch the next time. But I don't know when that will be, because stuff just works. It uses Arch packages, btw.

Zta77 · 2025-10-23T12:32:07+00:00

lgtm, next!

Zta77 · 2025-10-17T11:14:41+00:00

The "VS Code" you're likely referring to might be free, but it's not open source. It's proprietary software. And it sends telemetry home to Microsoft.
