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.

    I’d say you’re looking for a word other than “minimalist”. Maybe “modder” or “tweaker”.

    A minimalist doesn’t necessarily have any interest in spending hours making their computer 0.01% faster.
