If you use a swapfile on that setup…
Does that mean you’ve literally DOWNLOADED RAM???
Felony!!!
Lol this is exactly where my mind went
YOU WOULDN’T DOWNLOAD A RAM
I remember LinusTechTips doing this with that title. But atleadt that was swap only on gdrive now this is full os in gdrive
Respect, but…
Linux uh… Finds a way.
Ladies, gentlemen, none of the above. We have come full circle. The mainframe + Terminal combination is back
Mainframes are just other people’s computers
That’s some God tier linux wizardry
Not Stallman approved
How is that latency haha
Competitive with 1970s?
Systemd FTW
The first paragraph is savage LOL
If he only went with void instead of arch, it’s just cheating using a systemd distri
@Chewy7324 It seems be fun but the latency should be terrible 😅
Latency isn’t the only issue.
it’s slow, symbolic and hard linking don’t work correctly, and permissions and attributes aren’t recorded.
You could have a secondary layer that tarred every file on write, since tar maintains permission flags. It could also fix symbolic linking, but not hard linking. As an added benefit, it would drastically reduce the usefulness of the system.
What about using a Google Sheets spreadsheet with the file content encoded in BASE64?
You maniac… What are you gonna do next? Run a cpu in a spreadsheet? Oh wait…
Once it all gets to ram, you should be just fine
Now this is why foss software is important 😁

You can make it work mostly that way. Create a UKI (unified kernel image including EFI stub loader, kernel, initial filesystem and kernel parameters), then tell uefi to directly boot it. The four steps still run, but using only a single file.
Arch and Gentoo wiki only mention systemd-stub, are unified kernel images not possible with other init systems? With efistub seems possible but i couldn’t get that to work on my MB.
Edit: i found something to Alpine Linux.
Is coreboot doing something like this?
