Alpine.

Have used crux but using low end / old hardware results in almost permanent building software.

Thanks. Will do so.

(Most?) valid point.

And could you elaborate on it? How do you roll your own?

Minimalists (lemm.ee)

Just wondering.

Are there minimalists here who tailor the distro used to their pc or sbc? Custom kernel. Swap default programs for simpler ones. That kind of stuff.

Are there examples of someone using (for instance) buildroot to create a custom 'distro' as daily driver?

If so. Curious about the technical details but also the 'why?' question.

There is some truth in that statement.

I was pondering over why I go back to ed every once in a while. I think because it's kind of a problem solving puzzle. It helped / helps me to understand and use regular expressions.

(Open)vi is my daily driver which is fine for my use case (mainly groff files to make tests and other documents).

Thanks for bringing micro up. Seems like a nice editor. Never heard of it tbh.

I should have mentioned that I meant interactive mode. Thus as editor.

I'm familiar with sed and awk.

Good old ed(1). I don't know why, but every now and then I like to edit my files using ed(1). Are there frequent ed(1) users around here? What is your motivation to use it?
