Website Impersonating a Desktop Environment
Sandstorm really had this kind of feeling. Not that it presented as a desktop environment visually - but it offered a much more integrated “computer” of documents versus silod web site apps where you need to open each site to see the files in the app. https://sandstorm.io/

Ask HN: Experience using your user's Google Drive instead of a database?
RemoteStorage https://remotestorage.io/ seems to be trying to do this too
I also really like the https://sandstorm.io approach which goes a little farther beyond

Ask HN: WordPress vs. Django/Flask?
I did read from somewhere, that with Wordpress SEO plugins etc some website got to top of search results.
Those that did website with other tech did not get same results, and thinked how to compete or survive.
For security, I use Sandstorm https://sandstorm.io fork of WordPress that generates static websites. But that does not work with some interactive plugins.

Plunder and Urbit
Urbit made the choice to use a bunch of silly new words for familiar concepts, not because they were inventing something so new that there were no words to describe it, but because they wanted to fool people into thinking that's what they were doing. Actually they just spent 10 years trying to do https://sandstorm.io/, but made it 10 times harder than it needed to be by coming up with a wacky new set of programming languages with silly names for everything.
That's funny, and it is OK to make fun of it.

Cap'n Proto 1.0
I don't work at Cloudflare but follow their work and occasionally work on performance sensitive projects.
If I had to guess, they looked at the landscape a bit like I do and regarded Cap'n Proto, flatbuffers, SBE, etc. as being in one category apart from other data formats like Avro, protobuf, and the like.
So once you're committed to record'ish shaped (rather than columnar like Parquet) data that has an upfront parse time of zero (nominally, there could be marshalling if you transmogrify the field values on read), the list gets pretty short.
https://capnproto.org/news/2014-06-17-capnproto-flatbuffers-... goes into some of the trade-offs here.
Cap'n Proto was originally made for https://sandstorm.io/. That work (which Kenton has presumably done at Cloudflare since he's been employed there) eventually turned into Cloudflare workers.
Another consideration: https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/issues/2#issuecomment-...

DietPi released a new version 9.1
DietPi is a lightweight Debian based Linux distribution for SBCs and server systems, with the option to install desktop environments, too. It ships as minimal image but allows to install complete and ready-to-use software stacks with a set of console based shell dialogs and scripts.
The source code is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi

The Orange Pi 5
Before someone starts the usual yadda yadda about the RPi biger community, the OS not having long time support etc. I would repeat one more time: do not rely on board vendor supplied images; this is valid for pretty much all boards. Just go to Armbian or DietPi pages and you'll almost certainly find one or more images that work on your board and forums to discuss about them with very knowledgeable people.

Those projects are well worth a contribution, as they don't have a giant like Broadcom behind them.

OpenWrt One/AP-24.XY: new open source router board by OpenWrt and Banana Pi
> bananapi do a lot of boards but their software story has been a bit poor
This is quite common with other board manufacturers too. I'd rather suggest to ignore completely their cobbled together distros, often also tainted by proprietary modifications, that become unmaintained in a few years, and see if they're among the many supported by Armbian or DietPi.

Looking for a way to remote in to K's of raspberry pi's...
RPi OS = diet pi https://dietpi.com/ - initial config via text file - SDcard burning out partially mitigated as writes log files to ram then flushes to SDcard reducing write cycles

Laptop so slow that even XFCE is laggy. What distro could run better?
You could also try very minimalistic distros like TwisterUI or DietPi which are most known for their use in the RasprebbyPi / SBC computers but which also have editions for desktop / laptop.
What are some alternatives?
