Vs. LXD?

that the USB stick should be no larger than 4GB

What the… ?

Asrock’s DeskMeet or DeskSlim series could fit your bill in a small form factor.

Btw, there are fast and beautiful M.2/NVMe to USB cases, for your SSD.

Work was throwing it out. Again and again.

TO has personal problems with x and looks for alternatives to x, not for solutions in x.

And it has a CVE about each month. Which is more than other init have in their lifetime.

and simplifies everything

Not at all, no.

Alpine is without Systemd tho? I see no issues there. It’s primarily made for containering too. Their init uses busybox, afaik.

Obarun comes with the excellent s6 init but uses pacman as pkgmanager, rolling. Void is semi-stable afaik, but might still fit your bill.

Then there’s Devuan (mileage my vary, since it’s a fork) but they use a weird Runit/Sysv-hybrid if you choose Runit. Or old and clunky SysV, by default. Maybe Knoppix/MX works better?

Gentoo can use OpenRC but you want stable. (there’s even an s6 repo, yay!)

AntiX, Slackware, DSL, IPFire, i have no experience with.

I think op explicitly stated they don’t want to diskuss the “why not systemd?” thing.

What do people have an RSS server for?

Tinyssh in a ssh user, su from there. I see privilege management in openssh as potential vulneranility.

I see so much Debian and no Alpine?

Donate it to your local school.

I see 803 forks currently, keep up the good fork!

Can you trust the well known brands?

Portable Apps or Scoop or if Linux, Appimage?

I thought you are legally allowed to share copyrighted/DRMed stuff with friends and family?

Why is everything on Discord? Now even some mods are exclusively on this closed platform.
