BashCore just got a hands-on review!

Not just a write-up, they actually downloaded, booted and tested the live ISOs, with real screenshots included 🤟

“Six editions, one purpose” captures the idea perfectly.

If you’re into minimal, privacy-focused Linux systems, this is worth a read

@nickbearded
Have you considered building a GUI/TUI frontend for creating LiveCDs?

I get the impression that many of the specialist downstream Debians only exist because the Linux community never made their own equivalent of NTLite (friendly tool for making customized Windows install CDs: lets you integrate device drivers and third party software while disabling/removing unwanted components).

@moses_izumi That’s a great idea in theory
I actually tried going down that road, building BashCore from a custom fully portable live USB setup, running in RAM, no disk usage… sounded perfect...
In reality: slow I/O, random breakage, painful debugging ‍️
So I went back to a boring, stable build system on real hardware.
Maybe a lightweight TUI builder someday, but I’m not rushing back into that chaos 🫨

@nickbearded love that they actually tested the live ISOs, that's the kind of hands-on review that really helps the community.
