Nice article. Waiting for the upcoming parts.

Blinry did something similar not to lomg ago, maybe it’s interesting for you, too: https://blinry.org/tiny-linux/

Or use booster, it’s imo even faster and easier to configure, then mkinitcpio and dracut.

Oh, yeah that would make sense. Thx

FYI The Windows License is more like $20-$40. The OEM Version costs $40 retail and MSI has probably a better deal. That’s how Microsoft got Windows on nearly every prebuilt PC since the mid 90ies.

The whole idea is about impermanence: https://github.com/nix-community/impermanence
