Best distro for toasters and embedded devices coming through.
>can run a full x86-64 OS with a GUI on like 128MB of RAM >can run modern applications like Firefox on it (needs more RAM than the OS) >can install applications easily with a friendly GUI app >boots to the desktop in like three seconds >no systemdicks >boot ISO is less than 30MB
>can run modern applications like Firefox on it (needs more RAM than the OS) So it's useless
Brody Jenkins
I will be when I get a raspberry pi
James Sullivan
Firefox needs more RAM than the OS because it's a bloated piece of shit. This isn't the fault of the OS, you retarded faggot.
Jonathan Price
>Why aren't you guys using it? it needs a wider range of supported architectures. wtf no mips, no ppc... I don't even own an arm7 except from a N900.
Jose Adams
Compile it yourself. It's smaller than a lot of desktop apps these days.
Josiah Reed
Damn Small Linux. Because i love Windows.
Jaxson Moore
Because I'm fine with bloatware. If I'd have somebody gift me a crapbook - i'd install it.
Joseph Smith
bumpity

Almost ALL browsers require almost 1GB to show a typical 2018 website and swapping is guaranteed. A Tip:QNX had a 1.4MB demo disk with GUI, file browser and HTML3 browser.
Daniel Sullivan
Better gui than windows 10 or gnome.
Ethan Reyes
Yeah,but now is not then. These days a computer that can't browse the web is pretty much useless dead metal.
Jaxson Cook
woah, what wm is that?
Dominic Davis
it's package manager sucks/does not make sense
Kevin Brown
I was installing windows XP and undocked my thinkpad before it rebooted halfway through
It didn't install rest of the stuff from the disk and was running on 30-40mb of RAM
If you can't beat that then go home
Elijah Flores
just make your own distro if you need something that small
Lincoln Flores
>Can't run on my AMD 5x86 laptop with 16MB RAM dumped
Jackson Cooper
that doesn't mean much desu
Jaxson Fisher
>can run a full x86-64 OS with a GUI on like 128MB of RAM And Void can do it with like 70, what's your point?
Anthony Ramirez
Use FreeDOS.
Wyatt Moore
why even shill? pretty sure every operating system uses less ram than firefox.. and that's normal but muh fonts
Gavin Smith
So it's just a really terrible version of XP?
Luke Martin
OpenBSD-amd64 has the same base requirements as 386 port >16-24 MB for base system excluding X >32-64 MB with X
Mason Davis
128MB is what you should have to run it comfortably. The minimum requirement is 46MB I believe.
Also, this isn't an OS from 2001. Don't compare it to Windows XP, an outdated OS full of security holes that runs like ass. Aside from program compatibility or nostalgia, why would anyone use Windows XP in the current year? It's fucking shit. All the blue screens and horrible driver support is the tip of the trashberg. Use React OS or WINE or something else that's better than that clusterfuck of dlls slapped on top of NT. The UI looks like vomit.
A toaster with under 256 MB of RAM is better served by a contemporary software stack of shit actually built for it than a bunch of bloated GPL shitware.
Ian Rodriguez
You just sound like a moron blaming the operating system for your stupidity. You should probably try using an ad blocker next time.
