Give it a go, and if you like what we are doing, come and join us.
We would benefit from your experience and expertise.

No need. We have never had libsystemd0 on antiX even though we are based on Debian.
And if someone installs a program that has systemd as a dependency then what? On Devuan, there is no systemd in the repos, not just the live cd or initial install. Users cannot install it even accidentally.

AFAIUI, antiX has a special nosystemd repository[1] that holds versions of packages that normally depend on systemd but no longer do.

And I would note that it is also impossible to install systemd in Alpine Linux because that distribution is based on musl libc and systemd has a hard dependency on GNU's bloated libc variant; the same is true of Void's musl release.

Here's a scrot of my new, freshly-installed Alpine Linux system to keep this thread at least vaguely on-topic:

@anticapitalista: thank you for your kind words but unfortunately I can't install antiX at the moment because I don't have any free partitions and the installer doesn't seem to support btrfs subvolumes, sadly.

I tried the live version though and I love it, what a fantastic system :)

If it's x64 arch, I have to say that is the most minimalistic i 've seen or you've achieved.
I went up to 70MB for x64, but didn't play longer to strip.

About x86, well... i have seen more surprises :)

Congratulations for your tweaks/scrots, I saw without commenting mostly.

Yes it is :)

The musl libc base gives Alpine an advantage over most other GNU/Linux distributions: Devuan manages ~55MiB (under OpenRC) and Debian buster's systemd init pushes that up by another 10MiB or so.

Both are better than Arch though, that takes up 70MiB just at a console screen :o

Interesting! I followed your impressions regarding Alpine, musl, ksh/fish. I really find em fascinate :)
They're on my to do list, once i have a time to check them.

On my local tmux, the Prefix key is set to backtick (press it twice to display a backtick). F11 for new window, F12 for next window. Which blends well with mc that uses F1 to F10. And doesn't conflict with a remote tmux that uses the default ctrl-b prefix

Packaging for Alpine Linux is so much simpler than Debian, although they did steal the method from Arch's PKGBUILDs. But then Arch stole theirs from Gentoo's ebuilds so I suppose that's OK.

FatDog 8.0 final.

Top bar is the main desktop's. I run a local tmux with its window list also at the top and non default keys ... so when I ssh into another box and run tmux on that the two don't conflict.

Bottom bar is my second secure (container) bar (Xephyr/unshare/chroot/capsh isolation from the main desktop).

Buried under those 14 windows is the desktop, but that's just any old image/picture that looks nice.

This was mostly a experiment , to see if I could change the Xterm icon size, and yes I could,..Using FVWM on OpenBsd it was fairly simple:

The above was when I doubled the size.
Below, doubled it again:

Guess I should have mentioned, the File manager is "Thunar"
