gollark: Though it might be also a good idea to go the other way and use... buildroot or something?
gollark: Like I said, though, it may be a good idea to build off an existing Linux distribution (a lightweight one like Alpine), so you can get nice things like a package manager.
gollark: Very cool. I had the vague idea of bodging Alpine Linux a bit to directly boot into a CC emulator and then PotatOS, with a few services on the host to provide the ability to execute commands and whatnot from CC, but you... actually implemented something like that, which is a lot better.
gollark: But CC has previously made a bunch of breaking changes and "deprecated" (whoever wrote that on the old wiki does not know what it means) outdated stuff.
gollark: It *does* break compatibility if `setfenv` isn't available.
