Here's the link to the OS the YouTube video is talking about... http://kolibrios.org/en/ It's been around for a very long time and is actually a fork of MenuetOS... http://menuetos.net Both are very impressive feats of assembly language engineering. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

Well, Menuet OS is not linux but assembly and very small. It will fit on a single 1.44MB diskette. Source: 6 months ago

You have floppy disk drive. Try menuetos or any live cd to see if it hangs on those. Source: 11 months ago

You know speaking of asm… maybe menuet might be the end all best OS ever made. It does fit on a floppy with a GUI and multitasking and it can play quake. Source: over 1 year ago

MenuetOS (1) is an operating system where everything is written in assembly including the applications. 1. http://menuetos.net/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Dietpi[0] is pretty good (debian-based) distro that works out of the box with minimal configuration. It was originally designed for a RPi's (I think), but it's expanded to tons of other devices. Here you can see a benchmark of each supported device and decide yourself what you want to go for[1]. 0: https://dietpi.com/#download 1: https://dietpi.com/survey/#benchmark. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

That's a good point, but the array of devices supported by the DietPi team is extensive: https://dietpi.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

I used dietpi [1] for similar reasons: a slim version of Debian, and with the defaults set to push all the logging into ram to minimize writes. Dietpi has opinionated defaults, for sure, but it's easy to choose something else (e.g. Dropbear is the default ssh server, but bumping to OpenSSH is a matter of changing a setting in the handy config tool). I've been running an RPi3 on an SD card as my secondary PiHole... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Before someone starts the usual yadda yadda about the RPi biger community, the OS not having long time support etc. I would repeat one more time: do not rely on board vendor supplied images; this is valid for pretty much all boards. Just go to Armbian or DietPi pages and you'll almost certainly find one or more images that work on your board and forums to discuss about them with very knowledgeable people.... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
