is this possible with someone who isn't autistic and can follow instructions? ive always thought it would be cool to have a super fucking minimal distro made just 4 me

Tinycore Linux

>>56319737
Look at any distro that doesn't have a window manager and doesn't have a desktop environment.

They're all gonna be within a few hundred megabytes installation size and use less than 100mb of ram.

>>56319737
format your hard drive and it'll never have been lighter-weight

>>56319737
Definitely >>56319804

I don't know if the kernel has ever been updated though.
>>
>>56319947
it gets updated with each major release.

there is also a variant of it called dCore that can pull packages from debian/ubuntu, while still sticking to being fairly low-end.

NetBSD

>>56319737
the most lightweight distros are going to run old ass kernels. you shouldn't aim for the lightest, but for an optimal blend of minimalism and convenience.

I would personally recommend Fedora with Xfce.
>>
>>56319790
without repos?

lel, enjoy dedicating your life to compile stuff

>>56321062
BSD is not Linux

>>56319737
Stali Linux might be in the running.

Puppy is kewl, about 70mb and you can tweak it a lot
>>
Damn Small Linux is arround 20mb
>>
>>56319737
I use Porteus its under 300mb and completely usable on a consumer lvl.
>>
>>56319737
Mint
