Either pxe netboot or usb or installable. Immuttable or not. Ramfs. With a host selector or fully auto login ?
Ultra light 16 to 128mb storage 64-128mb ram. Or “full sized”
And lastly, something like that, but that would run on a proxmox host.

For video it is. Unless you want your desktop to be in 128p
It’s probably plenty for vnc or spice though. I had a 486 with 8mb of video RAM that could do 1024x748 display resolutions…
no you can’t. That would require 1.6mb of ram for a single frame. In reality you need lots and lots of frames with hardware decoding plus network overhead.Not to mention that CPU would be way to slow to run anything but the bare Linux kernel (also the kernel requires 8mb)
Edit: I misread. I thought you were talking about computer memory not video memory. That makes more sense. Although your 30 year old CPU isn’t going to be running VNC or Spice any time soon. (Your welcome to prove me wrong)
1024x768x24bit is 2.4 MB
Dang, did you just maff on him bro?

Wait, actually wouldn’t it be 1.6 mb? Your connection probably doesn’t use full 24bit color. (Its not HDR)
Anyway my point still stands.
I mean… I did. 🤷♂️

Using 32 bits to be conservative that’s a bit over 3MB.
Granted I couldn’t play most games at that resolution on a 486 but it worked for a desktop resolution.
You kids with your GPUs with gigabytes of memory and your blue jeans…
Different time I suppose. I ran Linux on a old machine with a Pentium and 32mb of ram with systemd about 2 years ago. Sadly it died and now it won’t turn on.
I am pretty sure my p200mmx with 64mb ram could run a vnc client while listening to a blink182 mp3 in XMMS using the enlightenment window manager
Do it. I want to see it happen but I am doubtful
Of course not - it couldn’t even play MP3s without stuttering. I was just addressing the question of memory constraints.
