KISS
it’s just a single bash script and a repository containing package definitions to compile them from source.
Basically LFS on drugs.

I used it for a few years, great distro. I think it’s dead now.

Kolibri
Chimera Linux
hyperbola
they have a wiki with insane nonsens about why they don’t package certain things

Have you ever heard of arch? That’s what I use by the way
Rebecca Black OS.
It is the only Linux distro to date built around Weston, using Wayland’s full capability:
It doesn’t include any Rebecca Black theming or is related to her in any way.
It’s just called that cause the dev is a fan of hers.From the name, I expected a Hannah Montana Linux type distro.
I’m pretty sure that screenshot is Wayfire, not Weston.
Tell me if has a special “Friday” desktop at least.
Smoothwall. I used to run it a lot back in the early 2000s for personal use and even helped set up a couple small businesses with it but I don’t hear of anyone else using it these days, people seem to love openwrt and pfsense more.
It was great for just taking any old x86 machine and making a powerful, fully featured firewall/router out of it, including a VPN server, all through a web interface. Nowadays that’s boring shit but in 2002 it was pretty cool.
We had this as the firewall in our school! I remember bypassing it in so many ways with Google DNS and whatnot.
Any reason to use this over opnsense?
Good old Smoothie. Served me well back then. I think it went commercial at some point.
it’s main feature is that it completely redefines the system’s root directory structure. the only reason i even know it exists is because i’m friends with one of the creators
I’m gonna go with Tom’s Root Boot. Or maybe the father of all live distros, Knoppix.
Didn’t think Knoppix was obscure, but that was my gateway to Linux first on all my personal PCs.
I guess the years have passed it by.
Check out the random button on Distrowatch (distrowatch.com/random.php) - it’s like a Linux lottery, but you always win something weird!
Let’s make this a game. Click on it, then you have to install that on bare metal and daily it for a month.
Got RISC OS
mom, I’m scared
Oh god, I got Murena (LineageOS distro). How does one install that onto a ThinkPad T480…
Rockstor here. Which is interesting bc I’ve been thinking about setting up another NAS.
I got Linux Lite, which I’ve tried in the past.
Ha I got tuxedo OS, hopefully thats not too niche
That’s what I’ve been running on my gaming machine and it’s been great.
I got Plamo Linux
Suicide linux. Nobody can run it for more than a day
Edit: i just searched “suicide linux” to see if it still exists and one of the top results was ian murdock’s wiki page, :(
“suicide linux”
Looked it up with quotes and the first update in the first search result:
Update 2011-12-26
Someone has turned Suicide Linux into a genuine Debian package. Good show!
:(
Jolicloud. I ran it on an old low-spec netbook in 2013ish, basically a ChromeOS before Chromebooks were a thing. It was discontinued in 2016 but great for the hardware while it lasted.
Windows 11
