My base Debian Docker image for development is around 450 MB, including toolchain, and some other base niceties.
My absolutely not minimalist image (without GUI) is less than 2GB.
Looking at my list, I have some OS image weighting at 115MB (granted, have no idea anymore what is it... maybe it's just garbage.).
567 MB doesn't sound extremely reasonable to me, but sure, it's less than 2.55GB (for now).
- bigyabai 2y agoI'd imagine it's a ship of theseus issue. Yes, you can probably replace 200mb of packages with a busybox binary, but the goal is to have a working and isolated Debian shell, not the smallest terminal possible. Termux is still around for people that want to trim their system down to the minimum. > 567 MB doesn't sound extremely reasonable to me, but sure It's a smartphone OS that supports external storage. If you're a developer, you're smart enough to plug in a MicroSD card. I think people will be okay.
