    Oh great, another boutique “simple and lightweight Linux distribution”. This one will solve all the problems the others don’t. Perhaps it’s simpler? Or lightweightier?

    Oh and it comes with its own glossary of silly names for things so you can feel ridiculous when talking about it too others. Neat.

      Almost. It doesn’t try to solve all the problems, though. I’d say it’s a passion project like Haiku and TempleOS.

    What’s the goal? By the blurb I’d guess it’s a minimal server distro.

      From interview: it started as a research project. The author wanted a distribution that uses the least system resources with maximum performance.
      He started with archlinux, moved on to gentoo and to go even deeper - found the infamous “linux from scratch” and started to shape his own distro.

          Half of the linux ecosystem is personal projects.
          Linux itself started as

          just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu

          It’s not useless as you can learn from it.

            The reason Linux is such a big deal is that it was the one of dozens that didn’t fail. This is ignorable.

              By your logic, you cannot dismiss the project for being a personal one. Only if it fails, is it dismissable.

                I can do whatever I want. And odds are very good this is a fly-by-night personal project that goes nowhere.

                  Didn’t say you can’t whatever you want. I said “by your logic”. That was assuming you don’t contradict your own logic, but of course you can otherwise :)

        Cool but… what’s it intended to do? Is it Intended as a daily driver? Something like Damn Small Linux? Or what?
