Interesting concept. Store some files into memory. That could certainly save on disc space and make things a little faster but, on a low resource machine, disc space may be an issue. The only issue I would have with 'newer' machines, especially those that use an SSD, would you notice any increase in speed (file access) as pretty much all of those systems are already "sitting" in memory, so to speak... It is certainly interesting. If you end up testing this one let me know what you think? I would be particularly interested in performance... Thanks for the update!

From all the reviews I have read, Arch Linux - although being very stable - is recommended for experienced users... but yes, I have found that debian/ubuntu based distros are better... I have not tried Slackware... The name of the distro does not fill me with confidence... lol
Speaking of Debian based - I actually downloaded the current Debian 11 ISO to give it a try on a spare drive... The ISO was only 400mb and soon found out why... It was only the "core" of the system. Once the core was installed I was given a list of desktop environments to install... The desktop (with its appropriate files) were then downloaded... almost an hour later it finished installing only to be told that there was a "bug" and the "microcode" need to be updated. No instruction on how that was to be done... The cursor just sat there and "blinked" at me for ages... I had such high hopes for Debian... Oh well... I still have Mint...

ahh sorry to hear that..yes it is strange that Debian core ISO was bug...hmmm
well all this arch distros are strange ,they don't have standard loader like debian/ubuntu based installers or
boot loaders and i think that are resource hungry....and Yes Mint is fine.

Generally Slackware based distros are faster than Debian distros, but Debian is more popular... I wonder why...

i am wondering too
when i compare old slackware based Wolvix which boot in 10 seconds
and you have full xfce desktop ...Debian at is is kind of lazy
Today Slack based like Salix is crap ,heavy ..bad hardware detection..etc...etc
too many problems , support sucks too

Hello everyone, Rosy say : Generally Slackware based distros are faster than Debian distros, but Debian is more popular... I wonder why... Answer: debian is the mother of many distributions. see : upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg/3020px-Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg.pngdebian has the most packages. debian unstable = sid have 93666 packages debian testing = bookworm have 65839 packages debian stable = 11 = have 60829 packages arch current have 15706 packages opensuse tumbleweed have 15342 packages slackware current have 1607 packages ubuntu 23.04 have 1985 packages ubuntu snapshot have 2561 packages Greatings, |

Old Slackware have less bloated kernel and maybe because of that is faster
but every arch is too heavy
maybe Manjaro is the most stable arch
