GitHub - avxmw/creality_k1_fw: Tracks firmware for Creality K1 series 3D printers
If you dig through the rootfs of the K1 it becomes clear that Creality is using buildroot so we should be able to do that ourselves - at least some of us.

Curious about Roku OS
An embedded system like Roku doesn't need to "run everything", it just needs to run their "platform", which is probably quite small. It's pretty trivial to assemble your own OS from "off-the-shelf" components. You can use something like buildroot to spin up a new OS in half a day, using only the components you want. You can also use "smaller" components that have far fewer features, meaning less bugs and less updates.

Debloating Windows 10 with one command and no internet scripts
> I do this for every Windows installation that is used for similar purposes, like embedded machines that has to run a single application, virtual machines, etc.
Have you tried running Linux for these use cases? This sort of thing is an area Linux excels, in my experience.
When you run Windows, you're in for the whole kit and caboodle. Most of the components are proprietary, closed-source black boxes. You can only poke and prod and test and hope things don't break in unexpected ways.
Conversely, Linux can be easy stripped down to a bare bones kernel and a single statically-linked binary. I can run a useful application on top of Linux with the whole system weighing in smaller than bootmgfw.efi.
Something more complex, but still custom, is easily crafted with Buildroot.

Does it make sense to try to install / maintain a gentoo system in a vm for learning more about Linux?
Gentoo could teach you more about what is involved in dependency handling and actual ‘construction’ of a Linux system. But Linux From Scratch is a much better teaching tool for learning this, and even things like Buildroot are arguably better than Gentoo for this because they generally force you to care about a lot of the stuff that Gentoo hides away to make the system nicer to use.

How exactly does this work when going to production?
Disclaimer: I've not used this myself yet... but I've also been looking at how I can manage models in production too - came across https://www.balena.io/os

6 Trending Topics Every Embedded Learner Must Know in 2022
From what has been stated thus far, it becomes obvious that most of the opportunities would be in enabling containers for embedded targets. Currently companies like pantacor, BalenaOS, Toradex, Mender, and Foundries all offer solutions for containers for Linux-based embedded targets. This means that these solutions cannot support all types of embedded targets as not all have the computational power to support the needed underlying infrastructure. Right now, there is at least still a couple of other promising solutions out there that can support a wider range of controllers and are lighter weight, and don't require a Linux environment. For one, there is MicroEJ that aims to transform electronic "things" into smart things like Android transformed phones into smartphones. Another really interesting effort out there is Luos that provides an open-source lightweight microservices solution for distributed embedded devices.

Finestra issue with no bluetooth + solid blue light SOLVED
What i found out: After spending a lot of time looking stuff up and comparing the finestra files to a normal helium image , i figured out that they were pretty different which is why one of the other reddit solutions which involves using a normal helium image i wasnt such a big fan of because you lose some of the functionality of the finestras. Finestra internally use BalenaOS for their raspberry pi's and use a base image for raspberry pi 4 (64 bit) from here . A good chunk of what comes in a finestra and whats in the base image of BalenaOS is the same, mainly the differences being in the config.json file inside of the SD card of the finestra. Theres also a folder called overlays which has small differences between the 2 but im not sure exactly what they are since there are a lot of files. The contents should look similar to this.

Buildroot – Making Embedded Linux Easy
FWIW we recently started using the Yocto-based BalenaOS[0] in our project and have been rather happy with it because we get to focus on developing and running our software and don't have to bother with the low-level hardware stuff too much.
Unfortunately, as we're getting closer to shipping our product, we've realized that Balena seems to be rather cavalier when it comes to respecting software licenses. They offer pre-built .img files and Docker base images but don't provide a comprehensive list of licenses (let alone the source code) of third-party software components anywhere, as this issue[1] attests to. I'm currently talking to one of their customer service representatives and, as of this morning (when they sent me another email), they don't even acknowledge that this is an issue.
Looks like we'll now have to compile this list on our own. :\
