if you want to get a little weird, you can tell yocto to compile everything into deb packages and host them yourself with something like aptly
- mvip 2y agoYeah that’s true. But if these are embedded devices, you probably want an A/B partition scheme with full transactional updates and rollback.
- dima55 2y agoOr you can, you know, just run Debian.
- genewitch 2y agoi was going to just comment "but systemd" but i just found out debian ostensibly supports uninstalling it and installing openRC instead and that makes me like debian more. I use debian for generic VMs, prod VMs are 50/50 gentoo and ubuntu. I've been messing with Devuan too as my primary linux VM on my desktop PC. At one point i had it booting to fully logged in in around 8 seconds (after the bootloader selection thing.) unfortunately i broke that feature so now it takes like 40 seconds. But it is also openRC (there's a pattern here)
