@SweetAIBelle that's why I started @OS1337 : I looked at #Floppynux by @w84death and while it works with #BusyBox it doesn't do much beyond cat
and vi
and doesn't even have like drivers to store anything.
OFC #OS1337 isn't much better as of now but I do share the motivation that made @landley start #toybox:
A simple, clean, lean and adaptible, #smol #Linux distro that can be the solid foundation for anything.

Whilst #mkroot is nice, I think there is some room for improvement and building an actual #distro.
- Also he has made excellent documentation including a live demonstration on how to basically DIY a minimalist linux from scratch with #musl & toybox: https://youtu.be/Sk9TatW9ino
I feel that "Just chug in a #RaspberryPi with the lite
Version of #RaspberryPiOS seems quite overkill (it's a 350MiB (!!!) image) for most projects and espechally when it comes to #security-related stuff like #Cryptofon, #PocketCrypto and #LambdaCrypt.
- I think that besides "Don't DIY encryption! There are excellent implementations ready to grab and go!" the #KISS-Principle is key, cuz I'm a shit coder and I want to avoid having to fiddle around and instead make it easy to fix stuff just by updating versions from upstream.
