  • The author says that Linux should be as usable for grandparents as it is for children

    My problem with this statement constantly bombarded on us is that it assumes that someone somewhere out there who cares.

    To me, it seems that is the actual deciding factor in sticking with Linux… Realizing that if you want something that doesn’t exist, you’ll have to make it.





  • From my perspective

    Are you aware that I don’t have your perspective?

    I wanted to know more about your project, from your own words. Instead I got a lecture about how “dumb” I am, so I’m no longer interested, because you seem like a jerk. Whether that was intensional or is coming from an ill-adapted social outlook, I’m still not sure of.

    You seem to care more about being correct than talking about your project, which is your choice, I suppose.

    I’d close this with a glib sign-off like “have a nice day”, but I’m not sure having a nice day is within your array of skills.



  • You can get creative with Linux.

    1. Install on 512mb, remove and trim system services, and lower the memory. Running KVM is by itself likely not going to let you do that, I suspect.
    2. Use Alpine as you say.I run many alpine containers on between 25MB and 60MB, I give them 256MB, but it’s way overkill.

    Regarding alpine, be prepared to find differences from glibc and systemd distros in places you don’t expect. PHP (god forbid you should need it) is a right mess on alpine. Mongodb will not work on alpine. Stuff like that.

    I may take some challenge on this, but the tcpip stack seems faster on alpine than in debian, at least in my use cases.
