This feels like a lot to run on an arduino. Even the arm ones arn't hitting 100mhz.

This is aNduinos, unrelated to aRduino.

#12Only 2 GB iso! Smaller than Ubuntu! ... I remember when Ubuntu 14.04 was 1 GB ISOs... oh that was a decade ago :(

#13> AnduinOS, a one-man project from a Chinese Microsoft engineer, is quite a new Ubuntu remix that reshapes GNOME in the image of Windows 11.
> it modifies Canonical's current version of GNOME to look strikingly like Windows 11, using a collection of existing extensions and themes
Re: AnduinOS
#14I read this as Arduino OS. :sad_face:
Yes, this naming is really unfortunate. It appears to be inspired by a fictional river from the LOTR-iverse: https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Anduin
It appears to be the lead developer's name: https://github.com/Anduin2017

#15I made it half way down the page before I realized this wasn’t “ArduinOS”. I can’t be the only one.
Same. Now, however: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44955159
Re: AnduinOS
#16Why would one want to run this over Ubuntu? So much effort is wasted on producing and maintaining entire distributions when they are just another distro with a preinstalled package list and a skin?
Distros also represent sets of defaults and software choices (e.g. removing snap). Good defaults can make a world of difference and dramatically reduce time to usability on new installs.
Besides that distros also tend to include theming that’s much more complete and versatile (works at odd UI scales and such) than themes you find online, which can also be of value. Trying to assemble all the components and poke configs in all the right places to get a coherent look is frankly a huge pain in the rear.

That's what I thought too at first

Could that not be a script you run on a fresh Ubuntu install? I am just thinking in terms of all the heft and maintenance responsibility for maintaining this website, documentation, etc (which is all going to be virtually identical to every other documentation site), building isos, hosting them, doing releases.
When the end result is just install packages a, b, c, remove snap, add this theme, add this wallapaper. that is like a script to me lol.
aka ship a diff instead of shipping an entire asset.
Re: AnduinOS
#19I'm not really sure after reading through the front page why it's different from Ubuntu, it mentions flatpaks so that's one aspect.
But there's no breakdown of what other major things are different, or why to pick it over Ubuntu or [other popular distro].

It would be amazing if you could just download the combo of the script and image so you don't have to spend time configuring it :)
