I find T2 much easier to use than OpenEmbedded, much nicer, low-code and more pkg recipes. T2 also supports package updates, source based build updates, and soon will shipping weekly delta compressed AAA desktop updates. It simply does all, from lightweight embedded, server, desktop, all CPU architectures and even OherOS home-brew (building pkgs on macOS, BSD, GNU/Hurd ... that parts needs more polishing though).

T2 supports and has must based builds. Patches welcome! https://t2linux.com/download

Not just "one" other. One of the first dozens original Linux distro since ~1996-ish started as ROCK Linux. And the last Linux distribution that only does everything TM (all cpu ISAs, desktop, server, embedded, init systems ;-)

Kinda, just doing this since 1996 or when exactly our ROCK Linux heritage was created, supporting all CPU architectures (Alpha, Itanium, MIPS, PowerPC, etc.), being more up-to-date, less code, nicer, cleaner pkg meta data, cross compiling and professional embedded target supporting. Soooo, no; it's not Gentoo.

Doing this since 1998, most other distros are just forks of others, nothing as cutting edge and all CPU architectures supporting and cross compiling as T2 with it's ROCK Linux heritage.

We still support other inits, and are still shipping sysvinit by default. We only ship systemd in the modern desktop variant so all modern desktop features just work.

started to upstream a patch on average a day, but man has that an overhead, ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

so I can listen to records without buying a new headphone, ...

will just continue to build and maintain it any other MIPS, PowerPC, SPARC arch, ... https://t2linux.com/

Oh, nevermind. I reed a real computer, ... to be productive.

Well, T2/Linux mainly started as an all CPUs supporting System Development Environment mostly for embedded systems and firmware. It is basically like Buildroot or Linux From Scratch fully automated and on steroids. Common users include Access Points, Firewalls, Telephone or LTE switches, NAS, virtualization, or having fun on vintage and retro game consoles and of course prosumers on their home servers and workstations. The benefit is that T2 is not a fixed distributions like most of the others, but you can tweak it to your liking, and build it reproducible with low-code highly portable packages, Thus also increasingly getting into macOS and BSD home-brew ;-)

All are tested on real hardware ;-) https://www.instagram.com/p/DB... regularly on my YT and Twitch channel https://youtube.com/morerenere... https://twitch.tv/t2sde
