There was this distro that stuffs everything of a package in one folder, instead of /usr/lib & co. What was it called again?
Gobolinux?
Right, thanks!
KISS
it’s just a single bash script and a repository containing package definitions to compile them from source.
Basically LFS on drugs.
Interesting, was searching for anybody who mentioned LFS/Linux From Scratch leading here. Doesn’t seem active anymore though.
SLiTaz
It’s an obscure originally live usage oriented distro that you could also install. It was the first *Nix I ever used.
it was for a time a distro i was really big on on account of how small it could be on live media. absolutely fantastic for very old pcs and netbooks, too
Not so obscure, just 50mb and very functional, in between tiny core and puppy.

I think you mean Chimera Linux

you think a distribution that automatically includes all the proprietary stuff that we use baked into the distro would be more popular since it makes linux ready to go for most people; but it still gets fewer than 300 clicks per month.
I feel like the Enlightenment desktop environment isn’t to everyone’s taste. It’s definitely got some idiosyncratic design choices…
Doesn’t Pop!OS do that already?
Yes, as far as they’re allowed to in this country
And Ubuntu, no? Wasn’t that the big selling point of Ubuntu back in the day?
automatically includes all the proprietary stuff
Jail.
They’ve been able to figure it out so far
First I’m hearing of it. I’ma try it out
It made me lazy since they got everything to work out of the box. Lol
This. People always go “It looks like MacOS” but to me esp the icons just look like outdated Linux Mint/Cinnamon from 15 years ago. If people like ot that’s cool, it’s just not for me.
Its unpopularity may be related to that it asks money or a positive review in a blog to even try. Used to be so a few years ago.
i wasn’t aware that it had changed like that; i stopped using it when i switch to linux laptops from linux companies like tuxedo and system76
I created a distro once for class that just had diaspora installed on a live CD. It was only used for demos a looong time ago. DiasporaTest.
There was a bunch of weird rebadged Ubuntu derivatives back in the day.
Ubuntu satanic edition. https://archiveos.org/ubuntu-satanic/
Ubuntu Christian edition. https://archiveos.org/ubuntu-christian/
Hannah Montana Linux https://hannahmontana.sourceforge.net/
Ubuntu CE outlived Ubuntu Satanic. W.
Technically it died and was resurrected.
Bohdi linux. smoll and beautiful. Used to run it on my eeepc 701
Bohdi is pretty nice. Needed a Linux test device at a job a few years ago and for some reason this was one of the only ones approved. Was pretty solid for the few times I needed to use it.
That’s a blast from the past! I used to run #! On my 701…
Clear Linux.
I’m gonna go with Tom’s Root Boot. Or maybe the father of all live distros, Knoppix.
Didn’t think Knoppix was obscure, but that was my gateway to Linux first on all my personal PCs.
I guess the years have passed it by.
Don’t think so either but it has withered away.
Not obscure but I love hyprland
Also not a distro.
Everybody knows glorious leader’s operating system. 😉
No one ever mentions Crux Linux
Wsl just because it is from ms.
WSL isn’t a distro.
I think you mean Azure Linux ( formerly CBL Mariner ):
Of those I’be personally tried, certainly chimera linux or mageia
