I eamn, we can see this #OpenWashing by #RedHat and others #paywalling #SourceCode access...

• Legally they can do that even with #GPLv2, but that doesn't make it morally correct, because the idea of #FLOSS is #trust throigh #reproduceable & #Auditable builds.

@mrmasterkeyboard np.

To me @OS1337 is just an attempt to a minimalist #Linux distro because I want some #reproduceable & #auditable #firmware for various other projects, and both @yoctoproject and #RaspberryPiOS 'lite' seem rather excessive to me.

• Also a proper minimalist #CLI-based #distro that can be used for an "#SSH-#Terninal" does have merits.

I just think that it can have serious benefits being less distracting and allowing me (and others) to just use basically any hardware to get work done...

• The rest of the component selection came because it was either dictated by necessity (Linux has the most driver support and biggest community), alignment with values & goals ( @landley 's #toybox is a clean & minimalist userland) and being better than #GNU stuff (i.e. @musl / #musl) by not bricking shit at random minor updates…

@eu_os @EC_OSPO #IMHO, it's overdue that @EUCommission & @bsi ban non-#FLOSS & #CCSS in #administration and espechally #CriticalInfrastructure.

• We need #auditable (as in #ReproduceableBuilds!) systems!

Tangents aside, people are free to create forks and even branches that include #SystemD or use #BusyBox:

That is the #Freedom of #FLOSS and in fact for anything outside the 1440kB target we'd accept #SystemD since it works and solves a lot of issues...

Granted OS/1337 isn't a #demo first but rather tries to take the concept of #tomsrtbt and @w84death 's #Floppinux and tries to make it something that is useable and can be extended to arbitrary complexity if one desires to...

It's about making a tiny #Linux distro that is #reproduceable and #auditable...

It won't replace @ubuntu or any other big distro, likely it won't even replace #mkroot from #toybox but it should be a clean and level foundation for small #IoT and #EmbeddedSystems projects and products...

Something that is easy to build and customize and port to other platforms...
