• I want to have a USB specifically for linux andI dontknow what size

  There are lighter options, Porteus can is ~300MB for a desktop system. Source: over 1 year ago

• I’m bored of windows. And I know almost nothing about coding or the command line. I want to run a distro off a USB, what should I choose?

  Porteus is also designed for this purpose. Loads into RAM and is very fast. Source: almost 2 years ago

• I just bought an old USB key and found two partitions one is empty and the other contains a picture of a couple does anyone recognizes the couple or have any info that can help me find its owner.

  Or use a disposable os in a usb key like this one http://porteus.org/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• A distro to run out of an USB stick

  Porteus is what I've been playing with, as it is impressively tiny, but there are many options. Source: over 2 years ago

• Old 32-bit machines - How can we best keep them relevant?

  Porteus seems to be still supporting 32 bits. Source: almost 3 years ago

• A Modern Operating System in 1.44MBs

  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 / 4 months ago

• MenuetOS: An entire operating system in x86_64 assembly

  Mandatory mention to KolibriOS[0], an open-source fork of MenuetOS. 0. http://kolibrios.org/en/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• MenuetOS

  > KolibriOS has forked off from MenuetOS in 2004, and is run under independent development since then. All our code is open-source, with the majority of the code released under GPLv2 license. https://kolibrios.org/en/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• How can a browser (Firefox, Brave, Chrome, whatever) use 10+ gigabyte RAM???

  Abundance of resources in average machine is making people quite lazy. Just to shock people I tell them to take a look at KolibriOS. Whole OS, with drivers, sound, graphics, software, compiler, debugger and games fits on CD image 39MB. Smallest bootable system is 1.3MB. My phone makes photos that are bigger than that.

• TinyLLama – A Tiny x86 Retrocomputer

  Again, >I'd like to have a grasp of what sort of compatibility this relatively unknown cpu has. I do not plan to run Linux on this. But I might want to run MenuetOS[0], KolibriOS[1], Aros[2], ZealOS[3], to give you some examples. 0. https://www.menuetos.net/ 1. https://kolibrios.org/en/ 2. https://aros.sourceforge.io/ 3. https://zealos.net/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
