awesome VS collapseos

Try this list https://github.com/firasuke/awesome

Stuff like Business Card Linux might be worth a look. There's some useful links here

Other projects that could be worth a look are Kiss, Crux, Exherbo & Void...there's a few other pointers in this list.

Gentoo's quite a complex beast, you could look at simpler stuff with code a single human has a chance of understanding. mkroot, Kiss, Glaucus, Sta.li, few more here

If you are interested in the nuts an bolts of operating systems there's a nice list of interesting projects here.

If you search on this link there are a few attempts to use the linux kernel with a bsd userland.

Glaucus is another one man project, his Github site has a lot of good info and links to other awesome projects

Something like this is probably a lot more realistic than (as fast) "integrated circuits at home" : http://collapseos.org/

I know the point of it isn't to run on new hardware, but this would be a way to learn it on a stable platform without having to worry about dealing with constant problems from old hardware before trying to implement it on said.

There is something called Collapse OS I read about here on HN:

I myself am a collector of old devices, having raised three kids plus being a web dev. Hate throwing them away too I was just think about this today could I extract the CPUs or RAM or something to reuse rather than destory for the metals. I'd like to learn more hardware but no time.

Some hope for Colapse OS [1] perhaps?

Here is a quick guide to the science for those with the brain worms:

Maybe start with sufficient support for a simple OS that allows you to edit and compile programs. Something like FreeDOS or CollapseOs. Once you have that working you can extend it.

During collapse we'll all be using Dusk OS and post collapse we'll be using cobbled together rugged computers running on Collapse OS. I imagine at that point we can probably put the sub name to a vote. Maybe "r/ordinarylife".

Not Linux....but you could just install Kolibri OS for a very light desktop or consider CollapseOS and DuskOS....think Dusk should run bare metal on now and won't be too bloated, but there's always CollapseOS if you prefer to keep things light
