Flagstaff comments on Smallest GUI distro (for a low-RAM Chromebook)?

submitted 4 months ago by Flagstaff@programming.dev to c/linux@programming.dev

PeppermintOS? I'm trying to prepare an ancient Chromebook C202S for Linux and have had some ideas from antiX to MXLinux and Loc-OS, but it seems that PeppermintOS may be among the best choices.

The tech level of this Chromebook's end user is unlikely to work well with Arch + BSPWM, which was recommended to me by someone else.

So I just read that Peppermint seems to be a fork of Devuan; am I understanding correctly? https://lemy.lol/post/67068819

I also just now saw what you had said:

changing the default kernel command line to include turning off all the CPU security mitigations.

I don't know how to do this; could I get a quick rundown, please? Thanks so much!
