Ask HN: What are some ways of running Linux into
I have TwisterOS[0] installed on my Pi 4. It comes with loads of retro gaming tools out of the box. [0] https://twisteros.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Please help with software choice
The Radxa Zero is supposed to have 70% of the processing power of a Pi 4, but I'm a bit skeptical of that claim. It does look like a great alternative to a Pi Zero, though. The idea of running any graphical desktop on a Pi Zero seems ambitious to me, but KDE is way beyond anything I'd try. I haven't had a chance to try out Twister OS yet, but I have used the Pi Zero, Pi 3, and Pi 4 with several other distributions... Source: over 1 year ago
Windows styles
Another vote for this. Preconfigured Chicago 95 look would be great. Twister OS has a nice XP theme, should be easy to port it. Source: about 2 years ago
connecting to tv
For now the solution seems to be switching back to the older Buster build of Raspian (or going with an alternative like Twister OS, as I did today.). Source: over 2 years ago
Question about cooling solutions for RetroPie device using Argon One M.2 case
The argon case is excellent though. I have had no issues with heat using it. I set it up with a 256gb m.2 drive and use TwisterOS. Definitely recommend you check it out if you have a spare SD around though, it's a pretty cool setup to play with! Source: over 2 years ago

Shit they exist
The idea of config files is fine, it's the implementation I don't like. I was using NetBSD recently for my senior project and found it fine to use - all the documentation is in one place (well, two - the manpages and netbsd.org). It's when the documentation is nonexistent and you have to search through a million different websites and forum posts to find the one line you have to change - that's what gets me. Linus...

Redox OS 0.7.0
This is what most of the existing open source operating systems are and it is much easier to contribute to those or fork one that does most of what you want. If you are aiming at a POSIX system then there is a fair amount of work but you at least then get a huge amount of already written software that you can run (IIUC Redox is aiming for this but written in Rust). A structure like Qubes OS would make it easier... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
Vulnerabilities in billions of Wi-Fi devices let hackers bypass firewalls
It looks like one of the vulnerabilities involves being able to sneak in a rogue ICMPv6 route advertisement, with rogue DNS entries. It also mentions doing this kind of stuff against NetBSD 7.1, but that's a couple of versions old, so I guess they were concerned about all the random managed access points floating around?
