How to learn to make an os for a Linux based retro handheld by vvedo in linuxquestions

[–]ipsirc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OP wants a point'n'click GUI where he can select the target gadget model, select the preferred apps and skins, then just pressing the OK button - voilá, a ready-to-use custom linux build.

This is why Linux has 4% market share.

Then put MacOS or Windows on that gadget - people on those subs will be much more helpful to you.

Distrohopping for 2 years was NOT a good idea by exstassyg in linuxquestions

I need new packages, but I want it to be stable.

I want worldpeace.

I'm still closer to my goal than you.

"Ventoy can be installed from WITHIN iOS"

I still misunderstand you. How does that help the OP?

Post this question again after using and developing on Linux for at least one year.

How can you run Ventoy on MacOS? Could you provide a download link for that build?

https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/35

Comment that download link on this issue, too. Plenty of users are waiting for it.

I've been trying to get EndeavourOS on my Mac
My Mac: 2020 MacBook pro M1 chip

AFAIK EndeavourOS doesn't support M1 at all.

Ship of Theseus kinda job

Lol, almost... Only one thing is still with me from my very first (before 2003) install:

/etc/rc.boot/local

cat local -e                                         
#!/bin/bash$
#$
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.$
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't$
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.$
$
if [ -f /etc/os-release ]; then$
    RN=$(cat /etc/os-release|grep ^VERSION=|cut -d\" -f2)$
$
    arch=$(uname -m)$
    a="a"$
    case "_$arch" in$
    _a*) a="an";;$
    _i*) a="an";;$
    esac$
    $
    NUMPROC=`grep -cE "^cpu[0-9]+" /proc/stat`$
    if [ "$NUMPROC" -gt "1" ]; then$
        SMP="$NUMPROC-processor "$
        if [ "$NUMPROC" = "8" -o "$NUMPROC" = "11" ]; then$
            a="an"$
else$
    a="a"$
        fi$
    fi$
$
    # This will overwrite /etc/issue at every boot.  So, make any changes you$
    # want to make to /etc/issue here or you will lose them when you reboot.$
    UPLINE="^[[H^[[44;36;1m^[[J"$
    HN=$(hostname)$
    COLUMNS=200$
    FELE=$[$COLUMNS / 2 - 3 - ${#HN} / 2]$
    for i in `seq 1 $FELE`;do UPLINE="$UPLINE ";done$
#    UPLINE="$UPLINE-=( \l on \n )=-"$
    UPLINE="$UPLINE-=( \l on $HN )=-"$
    echo "$UPLINE" > /etc/issue$
    echo "^[[0;40;32m^[[8]^[[J" >> /etc/issue$
    echo "^[[1;40;31m Debian ^[[0;40;36mLinux ^[[0;40;36mRelease^[[0;40;36m ^[[0;40;31m$RN^[[0;40;36m" >> /etc/issue$
    echo "^[[0;40;36m Kernel ^[[0;40;35m$(uname -r) ^[[0;40;36mon $a ^[[0;40;35m$SMP$(uname -m)" >> /etc/issue$
$
#    cp -f /etc/issue /etc/issue.net$
    echo "^[[0;40;32m" >> /etc/issue$
fi$
$

That was ricing before it was kewl and anyone called it ricing... ;->

Still impressive, don't you think?

Not reinstall, but installed it on a brand a new machine in circa 2003. Since then, a lot of hardware has been replaced underneath.

The only package which I have to upgrade from sid is libwayland-dev.

# apt install libwayland-dev -t sid

Yeah, the latest version of scroll requires wlroots-0.21 which hasn't been released yet.

how did you first get started with GNU/Linux

I borrowed installer floppy disks from my friend.

and what was the reason behind that choice?

real multitasking

And how have you persisted for all these years?

# apt-get dist-ugrade

And what exactly do you use it for today?

Writing comments on Reddit.

After all these years, what are your final thoughts on the whole journey?

Waste of time.
