- Oasis – a small, statically-linked Linux system

After tens of hours and a numerous amount of coffee, I proudly did it
You reminded me for trying Oasis: https://github.com/oasislinux/oasis

Idea: Steam should delete all native Linux ports from its library to prevent ABI breakage issues and SteamOS should be made into a statically linked OS
IMO, would eliminate issues with glibc and other libraries breaking ABI compatibility. Statically-linked distros like oasis could be used as inspiration.

An estimation of what distros and desktops have the largest userbase?
Oasis and its native desktop Velox.

Compile webkit2gtk to be as minimal as possable.
I wonder why suckless team chose to build its browser on webkit2gtk instead of NetSurf, things like these and others like their adherence to Xorg makes me think seriously to move to Framebuffer (fbpad, fbpdf, fbff ..) or Oasis (Wayland + SWC + Velox).
- In theory, could you compile all of the libraries required to run a Linux environment into a single, massive .so file?

Are Hoistings Possible for C++?
When you say a fork of LLVM, am I correct in assuming that you specifically mean a fork of Clang? I don't see how the compiler backend would affect support for language extensions, regardless of whether it's an exception to that such as Tcc, Cproc, the MIR C jitter, lacc, 8cc, 9cc, and chibicc. Most of those are not for production, excluding Cproc and Tcc (at least according to Suckless or Oasis).
