- theamk 5y agoIt does not seem to be particularly suited for embedded devices, unless I am missing something? - <100MB initial install - check - read-only root -- in some cases? the diskless mode/lbu operation is neat, but it puts everything into RAM, and some boards may only have 1GB of it. - ssh-only -- nope, have to connect keyboard/monitor to setup - "full power of debian repo" -- nope Alpine is great out for small images, but unfortunately still unusable for headless embedded devices out of the box.
- BizarroLand 5y agoYou seem to know a lot about the specific requirements you are looking for. Have you considered rolling your own linux distro to meet your use case? If there are enough other people that would be served by that setup, publishing the result could work very well for everyone with your niche needs.
