Sounds like a fun thing to mess around with.

Is it necessary? No.

Is it fun? Absolutely.

Why? Any distro can do this.

Out of the box convenience? Sure, any can be this, but it you want something to do this that doesn't break randomly after some updates, something like this is nice

Dude, I had a Linux box with a multi year uptime. If the goal is stability, don't update it. Keep it locked down to the services you need. Limit access to keys.

It's like people just want to collect distros like they collect Pokémon or something.

The goal is not stability, but thanks for your input.

Boy. You got me good there.

This is perfect for a non connected device. Something that you leave at your grandmother's and only bring what you intend to play, leaving your bag light.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago

Which can be done with any distro.
