By skyforbes my proccess:
- i choose a linux distro with its server installation iso [ i use debian mostly now days ]
- then i install it without standard dependency and i setup user, password and sudo (if using debian)
- then i run my custom ‘linutils’ script that installs needed minimal softwares for my usage.
- my script also installs dependency needed for my custom hyprland dot's dependency
- then it installs hyprland + sddm [ or any other combination if i choose ]
- the script is tui and support major distro like debian/arch/fedora
- finally the script adds all my public dots and wallpaper repo and installs them
- finally my ram usage is lower that 1 GB at startup. let me know how you do it.
