Well yeah how am I supposed to fit systemd on a milkv duo of ram? My gen z brain can only handle compiling a kernel to minimize its footprint, hardly even scraping the surface of linux experience.

(Non sarcastically though, why would anyone under 30 not know about systemd? Sure mainstream OS’ have more users than ever, but thats cause the world is techier than ever - growing up with fiber makes getting distro and tutorials trivial. I theorise youre getting pulled into the boomer mindset of “this person online does this so is an accurate representation of an entire generation”, which is kinda foolish.)

(PPS I know some gen z’s who dont even know what a file or folder is, so I’m not saying everyone is techy, but just that is almost statistically gaurenreed some people will be with a gen z population of almost billion people).

(PPPS, yeah Im talking about the 64mb milkv duo. No its not fun. But fuck is it informative.)

I mean its more like self driving cars than cars themselves; it can work, but also steering wheels were created by the devs for a reason - even if most are too lazy to understand that reason.

Like I’d agree hand coding in assembly is (mostly) useless these days, but honestly I feel like the efficiency problems ai is trying to solve were largely solved 50 years ago with compilers.

(and like isnt digesting large outputs the entire point of being an engineering level dev? like if youre just there to pray to the software gods, you’d do much better as a CRUD script kiddie anyways)

Theres a couple options from the past 5 or so years, you can find most of them here, most notably DRM native context virgl can approach native speeds.

There is some concerns about isolation, so its not an enterprise solution - but I believe chromeos currently uses DRM native virgl to run a steam gaming VM, and its android subsystem within a VM.

Theres also another couple options that are less async, more secure but quite a lot slower, and less optimised to each device.

(of course there is also passthrough and vGPUs, but like you mentioned these have higher hardware requirements)

That and an actively hostile hardware environment to open source dev in the aarch world.

OS’ on x86 are also a nerdy niche, yet Linux numbers are growing by the day, even seeing large vendors moving to first part support. None of this is allowed to exist in the mobile market exclusively for the profit margins of a few companies.

Side note imagine how cool it would be in a world without that enshitification, old phones could be recycled for 90% of pi projects, with better specs than the most expensive pi.

Can’t mount networked filesystem’s in android, but you can use a file browser app to emulate the same thing.

You can mount /var and /tmp to the ssd, lot of tutorials on doing this for Pis SD cards if your googling.

The only substance I can see to it is when do you draw the line from a modified Debian (or Ubuntu) setup to a “new” distro?

If you start with an Ubuntu image its technically possible to ship of Theseus it right into an Arch image, but you could argue the default config of both is best representative of the actual distro maintainers goal (even if irrelevant to power users).

(Saying this all as a NixOS user with a system that hardly even looks like Linux sometimes so maybe I’m a bit biased on how blurry all the lines are lmao)

SElinux blocks this for aosp and its forks.

I largely agree, but I could see having a prebuild iso/img including uboot for most common boards being a lot more user friendly than doing it by hand.

That and a binary cache could make things take a couple mins for a download vs a couple days to compile the kernel + all packages for any user with lower end hardware.

Kinda like what armbian provides for the arm space, but with a lot harder initial curve by hand rolling their own distro.

Modular custom single-program kernel running in a VM live migrated across a cluster?

Everywhere between the road and the ocean (ie the entire water table) but yeah no its not like we keep our food there or anything.

A/B testing, dont worry you’ll get it son enough.

Whoops, autocorrect strikes again

Mid-range networking equiptment common in higher end homelabs or small/medium enterprises.

Doesnt compete with fancier Cisco gear, but has an easy to use interface that can scale fairly well.

Though like most networking equiptment the hardware is dirt cheap, so Alpine’s lightweight base fits it well.

Most ubiquity equipment is alpine I believe

nice misgendering bro

Mind linking the relavent simplex SMP/xftp windows container then?

Docker desktop for Windows runs under WSL or Hyper-V, both being VMs themselves.

Arguably running a Linux VM themselves will only offer them more customisation options (although may be heavier than WSL)

Thats how docker runs “natively” on windows, its kernel has no support for namespaces nor cgroups that containers require

how many crabs are in the ocean?
