To me @OS1337 is just an attempt to a minimalist #Linux distro because I want some #reproduceable & #auditable #firmware for various other projects, and both @yoctoproject and #RaspberryPiOS 'lite' seem rather excessive to me.

I just think that it can have serious benefits being less distracting and allowing me (and others) to just use basically any hardware to get work done...

  • The rest of the component selection came because it was either dictated by necessity (Linux has the most driver support and biggest community), alignment with values & goals ( @landley 's #toybox is a clean & minimalist userland) and being better than #GNU stuff (i.e. @musl / #musl) by not bricking shit at random minor updates…

I keep switching my #desktop #distro. Right now I am on #nobara, but I know my way around #debian-based ones much better. Also, more software is provided in .deb.

But I want #KDE, which is not widespread in the debianverse. At least not among the distros recommended for #gaming.
Couldn't get debian itself to run (well), don't want snaps so no #kubuntu, ran into update issues with #mint-with-kde... finally I was pointed int he direction of #tuxedoOS, and it felt a bit... box-y on my laptop. And it had no bigger UI size on the big monitor, only all at once.
So I let it rest for a bit until I stumbled over another deb-only package. Now I'm back to #dualboot, this time nobara/tuxedo. At some point, I _will_ find my distro. 😅

I never had these issues with #windows. There, I had to take it as it was. Was it better? Hell no. I enjoy being spoiled for choice. (And also not being surveilled.)
