Tangents aside, people are free to create forks and even branches that include #SystemD or use #BusyBox:
That is the #Freedom of #FLOSS and in fact for anything outside the 1440kB target we'd accept #SystemD since it works and solves a lot of issues...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogoGranted OS/1337 isn't a #demo first but rather tries to take the concept of #tomsrtbt and @w84death 's #Floppinux and tries to make it something that is useable and can be extended to arbitrary complexity if one desires to...
It's about making a tiny #Linux distro that is #reproduceable and #auditable...
It won't replace @ubuntu or any other big distro, likely it won't even replace #mkroot from #toybox but it should be a clean and level foundation for small #IoT and #EmbeddedSystems projects and products...
Something that is easy to build and customize and port to other platforms...
And we're open for contributions:

@rory So think of #OS1337 like a new attempt at #tomsrtbt in terms of simplicity...

@landley @whitekiba @[email protected] sry.
My quest is to see if something like #tomsrtbt can be done with modern versions of #Linux & #toybox.
I know #mkroot is meant to show a full #musl + toybox / linux system for each supported architecture without sacrificing features and drivers along the way whilst retaining readability and reproduceability.
So OFC it can't fit on #1440kB...
But what can fit is a shimmed-down system able to load additional tools and/or flash/write a bigger system onto disk.

how about a nice old version of Tom's RootBoot floppy?
