Competitiveness is a vice of mine. When I heard that a friend got Linux to boot off of NFS, I had to one-up her. I had to prove that I could create...

    Ladies, gentlemen, none of the above. We have come full circle. The mainframe + Terminal combination is back

    @Chewy7324 It seems be fun but the latency should be terrible 😅

      You can make it work mostly that way. Create a UKI (unified kernel image including EFI stub loader, kernel, initial filesystem and kernel parameters), then tell uefi to directly boot it. The four steps still run, but using only a single file.

        Arch and Gentoo wiki only mention systemd-stub, are unified kernel images not possible with other init systems? With efistub seems possible but i couldn’t get that to work on my MB.

        Edit: i found something to Alpine Linux.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
