- ylk 2y agoIn what way are [1] not “full OSes”? They’re minimal templates, but afaik they still run systemd, the kernel, etc. needed to boot the standard Linux systems they are. When I clicked the link I was expecting something like a unikernel, eg https://roscidus.com/blog/blog/2016/01/01/a-unikernel-firewall-for-qubesos/ https://roscidus.com/blog/blog/2016/01/01/a-unikernel-firewa...
- fsflover 2y agoYou certainly can run distros without systemd [0] or something very different like *BSD or Mirage [2].

- ylk 2y ago> You certainly can run distros without systemd Does it then become not a full OS anymore? Mirage is what I linked to above.
- fsflover 2y ago> Does it then become not a full OS anymore? Probably not. I mentioned it, because you mentioned systemd. And yes, I saw your Mirage link and showed how you can use it on Qubes.
