Linux from Scratch on WSL2?

Krrish Dhaneja — Fri, 05 Mar 2021 12:16:21 +0000

Hi Devs👋🏻, hope so y'all are well, so in this post I just wanna ask that does WSL2 fulfill the requirements for building Linux distro by taking reference from Linux from Scratch book? Cuz am on Windows and running Linux on VMware is slow and sluggish! So, is it possible to build Linux from Scratch on wsl2? Any help would be appreciated!!

Custom WSL kernel?

Krrish Dhaneja — Fri, 19 Feb 2021 11:24:52 +0000

Hey devs🙋‍♂️, hope so you all are well and good, today I was just thinking that Microsoft's custom WSL2 Kernel doesn't support systemd, but would the condition remain same if I used original linux kernel by compiling it, and then using systemd? Any help would be appreciated!

Using raspberry pi as a ☁️ VM?

Krrish Dhaneja — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 17:25:36 +0000

Hi there👋👋, Community. I am thinking to buy a raspberry pi sooner or later, cuz I am thinking to use it as a cloud storage option and for using it as a cloud VM, just like we do in aws, azure or digital ocean or even linode(i think you all got my point😁😁.)But the problem here is I know how to use it as a ☁️ storage, but don’t know how do I do the same with ☁️ VM, I know that I just need 3 things for that-network,battery and ssh, but the problem here is that what if I want to distribute the 8gb RAM of raspberry pi into two 4gb RAM VM’s, like running two instances of ubuntu on 8gb raspberry pi, with first using 4gigs and the second is also using 4gb, how can I do that? Any help would appreciated!

Svelte vs React

Krrish Dhaneja — Wed, 06 Jan 2021 06:14:27 +0000

From a past few days I have been thinking 🤔 that should I use Svelte or React in a poject, Because I need to make a beautiful and responsive UI, so what could be the best option for this, though I have googled it, but still I can't decide.

Attracting users toward a project.

Krrish Dhaneja — Tue, 05 Jan 2021 14:53:42 +0000

So, I made some of the projects(one of 'em is cool enough) with the help of a friend cum contributor, but, the question rises here is, how can I get a Community with at least 20-25 users, becuase feedback is what that is important when developing an open-source(or any) project, so, how can I get a good community of users? Because when I see other projects(like VSCode) they are way too popular, so what can be the solution for this?
