Wow, @linux does actually improve efficiency over time...
I just compiled a minimal kernel 6.5 for OS/1337 targeting #i486 instead of #i686 and the resulting binary is even 10kB smaller than the one for 6.4.12...
For real: That's awesome cuz it allows me to make the #Floppy version for #486SX a reality and still have #Toybox & #dropbear as #SSH client in it...
Cudos to @torvalds and the maintainers for that:
They really did cleanup the codebase and made it #smol|ler!

So you could at the very least use it as a #SSH #Terminal #distro...
Sadly this means it will require at least an #i686 and won't run on an #i486 anymore as a lot of memory was eaten up by #486SX woraround code in the kernel...

I did it! I managed to install Gentoo on a potato PC in just 8 hours! Yes, there is no xorg and i3 or dwm yet, but it's not so scary anymore, because grub is already there. It will be easier in the future 😁

that face when you're trying to install #archlinux :arch: on a laptop, only to find out it's running an #i686, so the kernel isn't compatible
I guess I'll have to try #parabola :parabola: linux

#x86_64 and #i686 builds are provided, it is technically possible to compile for #aarch64 but I couldn't get the resulting binary to work on my device. It's a #Windows #EXE that runs fine in #Wine on #Linux (where I do my coding). #armv7 builds seem to be blocked on what might be a bug in a third party library.
