That’s what I was thinking.
Same way the effort is worth making a movie, if i had to guess.
And its little sister, PiCore, which enables the excellent PiCorePlayer.

Notes:
Catodon is not a Threadiverse app. It’s a clone of Mastodon, forked from a clone of Misskey*
*hot take: a .Net rewrite transforms Iceshrimp from a Misskey fork to a Misskey clone
Catodon is apparently working on it. Catodon announcement post:

@fediprofile @maho ohhh interesting I didn't understand that! Do they also expose it as a group actor so they could be subscribed from Lemmy and Piefed?
Is it cachy? Or is it what cachy uses that every other distro can as well.
Cachy has, at least in my experience with a Zen 5 processor, it’s own special Arch pacman repo with meta packages for various processor types. I believe for the most part mine uses Zen 4 packages.
Add your processor meta package and it adds the appropriate repo where packages have been custom built with feature flags / optimizations for that specific architecture of processors.
So it’s a little closer to Gentoo or LFS in those regards, without you having to actually build every package from scratch.
So while yes any distro could do this, in practice a lot don’t bother and only release basic i686/amd64/arm32/arm64 sets of packages. Whereas Cachy offers zen4-amd64 packages as an example, and I assume they offer various Intel architecture and other AMD architecture specific packages as well.
You’re not wrong, but still.
I just started season 4. From what I understand, the game takes place during the first 3 seasons.
I meant in distrowatch appears as so. Then again I really like these kind of hobbyist opinionated distros that sprouted in the early 2000s and the zeitgeist behind.
Thanks for sharing. I’m too paranoid, as I have very little free time to fix stuff if it breaks. Still good to know.
That’s the beauty of it, though. If it breaks, you just roll back to the previous layer and carry on like nothing happened. Totally get where you’re coming from though.
@fediprofile @maho what happens when you follow one? can they post something?
I believe the drivers for pmos are all written from scratch, at least for the iOS devices. I’m sure some things could be borrowed from Lineage device trees. Their Wiki says that most of their supported iOS devices dont have anything past basic screen support, so I would guess that the shared base is only marginally helpful, unless alpine is no longer a part of iPhones (iPhone 6 is the oldest on the supported list I think?)
