    GaryOS is an entire GNU/Linux system in a single bootable file

  • Playing around with Porteus, AntiX & Alpine on older and resource restricted hardware and stuff like GaryOS has got me thinking a modern x86_64 or aarch64 system with 64gb ram or more could easily accommodate a desktop system with plenty ram to spare for running. Porteus is ~300mb, AntiX ~5gb and Alpine a little more for an xorg desktop system. Standard install for most Linux systems seems to be below 32gb.
