Jarkko SakkinenI was able to create <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.kernel.org/tag/systemd" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#systemd</a> image with <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.kernel.org/tag/buildroot" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BuildRoot</a>. However, it boots into emergency mode. Any tips or ideas? My end product is 2GB img file that can be booted either with real hardware or in QEMU (it has <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.kernel.org/tag/uefi" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UEFI</a> layout).

Stuart Longland (VK4MSL)<a href="https://chaosfem.tw/@rooster" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@rooster</a> I've used a few distributions in my time, having started with Red Hat in 1996 and migrated over to Slackware.Python stuff: the best support I've seen so far for <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Python</a> has been in <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/Gentoo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gentoo</a>. You can have multiple Python interpreters installed side-by-side (including pypy), when you install a Python module that's packaged as a Gentoo package, it will install that module for each interpreter you have installed.I've not seen that in other distributions. That said, maintenance can be cumbersome.That said, the permutations and combinations of compiler toolchain and libraries can give rise to C++ headaches. Some upstream projects refuse to support Gentoo.<a href="https://strangeobject.space/@esther" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@esther</a> suggested FreeBSD… the BSD space in general is worthy of a look. Very good (NOT Linux-based) operating systems with a long history. There's also <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a> (focussed on portability), <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> (NetBSD fork focussed on security), <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/DragonFlyBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DragonFlyBSD</a> (FreeBSD fork, not tried it).Lots have suggested <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Debian</a> -- a fine choice if you have a regular desktop computer and don't want to spend your day compiling. Widely supported and understood.I won't comment on <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fedora</a>: my memories of it were circa 2004 or so.I did try <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/CentOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CentOS</a> in a VM (actually needed it because Tridium's development environment requires it), and found it a very bloated OS.<a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/Ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ubuntu</a> isn't bad if you need hand-holding, but I do find it too is a very "heavy" OS, even with a lightweight desktop. Quite pre-occupied with "snap" packages. I use it at work because that's the company standard (with the FVWM desktop, which confuses colleagues no end).Won't comment on <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/OpenSuSE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSuSE</a> -- I do recall using <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/SuSE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SuSE</a> Linux years ago, and it too, was a very "big" OS, but once again, we're talking 20 years ago or more.<a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/Slackware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Slackware</a> is still kicking, probably the longest-running Linux distribution there is. (The one that came before it was <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/Yggdrasil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Yggdrasil</a>) Lightweight, but be prepared for it to emulate Linux From Scratch when something you want isn't shipped in the packages.Speaking of which, <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/LinuxFromScratch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LinuxFromScratch</a> is an option if you're a masochist. 🙂 If you think Gentoo is hard, this is a LOT of work! You are the package manager, and software repo!If you want small, and binary compatibility isn't an issue, <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/AlpineLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlpineLinux</a> is worthy of a look. Gentoo-ish feel (with OpenRC), but binary packages. A VM can be installed in 50MB!If you really want small for an embedded project, <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/BuildRoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BuildRoot</a> is worth a look.I've heard good things about <a href="https://mastodon.longlandclan.id.au/tags/ArchLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ArchLinux</a> but never tried it, so can't comment further.That was a long post, but hopefully that gives you some ideas. 🙂

caleb ×hey embedded developers, would you be interested in a better <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/YoctoProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#YoctoProject</a> or <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/buildroot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#buildroot</a>? What things would you be looking for?* binary repo and package caching * battle-tested package recipes and seamless cross compiling * extremely fast dev loop * KISS build system * other?would hugely appreciate any feedback/comments from folks who have worked with any existing embedded Linux distros/distro builders, including Android if it was for IOT
