@xeniac I know that this is the case, but it's not a technical unavoidance despite the #RaspberryPi being a non-#UEFI - #arm device.
The solution in that regard would be to boot into a #live / #setup mode like with #RaspberryPiOS for #i586-based #PCs and extend it to a setup that allows creating a new custom image with #LUKS - #FDE enabled and properly encrypted.
I'm not even demanding much, just a simple #TUI / #CLI setup like @ubuntu / #UbuntuServer has with basic customizations.
And yes, OFC some #minimalist #linux-#distro like #TinyCore also runs fine on it, which isn't a surprise given that it's a 20MB ISO and a 512MB RAM, of which 8MB are per default occupied for VRAM aka. the #i915GML's framebuffer.
Needless to say I've to see if @bunsenlabs even runs on this thing and I know that anything #64bit is a complete non-starter as it's just an #i586 / #ix86 machine, so any supported mainstream distro is a nope.
@LambdaCalculus @cryptoparty
OFC @vkc did have more than a valid point why she'd not trust @ubuntu and those are all valid...
The good part is that #Linux isn't dependent on the interests of one big Corporation, redardless if #RedHat, #SUSE, #Canonical, #Microsoft, #Google or god forbid #Oracle...
Also maybe one's in need of something more educative that runs on on an older machine? @Raspberry_Pi #RaspberryPiOS runs great on #i586 and up.
Or want something slim enough to run on a #ThinClient? Try @bunsenlabs / #BunsenLabsLinux and/or #PorteusKiosk...
There are mamy options and that is a good thing!
@Natanox @wyatt8740 @ChrSt @tauon @ika I am aware of @libreleah 's products and I do take a look regularly.
However it becomes clear to me that my workflows did outgrow even the i7-3570M and that I've to find something newer that isn't a #downgrade to me.
As much as @frameworkcomputer undo a lot of #Enshittification that #Lenovo introduced (given a lot of if not disgruntled, but at least dissatisfied Lenovo engineers started it, that's no wounder), they sadly didn't offer a #trackpoint or #ToolfreeSwappableBatteries.
And no, #THINN-ness isn't an argument when the #Vaio #P11Z was able to do that in 2008 and that thing was #PeakEngineering in terms of "How tiny can we make an #i586-compatible laptop?" and Sony emgineers just said "yes!" in return...
@opensuse started a new project; #openSUSE Step! It currently covers #i586, x86_64, and #armv7hl. More architectures, such as RISC-V, can be added based on contributor interest and resource capacities. #arm #intel #AMD #opensource https://news.opensuse.org/2021/02/11/opensuse-new-project-looks-to-build-sle-on-more-architectures/
PsychOS486 for i486DX/i586/i686 computers with CD-ROM drives is now available at https://psychoslinux.gitlab.io/486/index.html #foss #linux #i486dx #i586 #i686 #32bit #slackware #puppylinux
Just a quick reminder, I have a GNU/Linux distribution called "PsychOS" for running on older hardware (i686) and will hopefully soon release "PsychOS486" for those with even older hardware (i486DX/i586/i686), as long as you have 32MB of RAM for a console and 64MB for a GUI desktop, but 128MB would be much better. https://psychoslinux.gitlab.io #GNU #Linux #FOSS #PsychOS #i486 #i586 #i686 #32bit
