![]() So, that’s how Linux Lite snuck above Lubuntu. ![]() ![]() People are installing that, then immediately running the system update which brings it up to 4.8. There is an unofficial/test 4.2 with UEFI support. 1 MODERATOR'S NOTE: I am posting this here as a 'Stickie' because it is a good example of how older - legacy - hardware can get a new lease of life under Linux, and as a bonus, the OP (Original Poster) has solved his own problem. That’s why I could never get it to boot (last April and now). A year ago the hardware requirements of Linux Lite were quite modest, but that was because it was based on Ubuntu 12.04, however after using Ubuntu 14.04.01. But, comparing mem use in a virtual environment, Lubuntu would be higher.įWIW: Linux Lite (the official 4.8 downloadable ISO) doesn’t support UEFI. It ended up ranking just above Lubuntu (in terms of real hardware mem-use). That becomes more of an issue for Lubuntu because I was able to do more with Linux Lite. But, Lubuntu’s have a large percentage difference between real hardware and virtual. (But, there’s a lot of variation between virtual and hardware numbers. But, in actual use… the hardware numbers are the absolute truth. It seems like the virtual box numbers are more representative of a distro’s size (comparable). I can’t extrapolate which is more important. I.e., if the table were sorted on the virtual box numbers the rank order would be different. Since it’s already bumped, I wanted to comment on how odd it is that Lubuntu 19.10 is so much more disproportionately smaller in a virtual box than actual hardware. I edited it with more info about Linux Lite. I should go to their forum and try to work through the boot issue with them. So, I was able to see Linux Lite for the first time. With Multipass you can download, configure, and control Ubuntu Server virtual machines with the latest updates preinstalled. It was like it handed itself off to the hard drive. It seemed like the machine accessed the device for a few seconds, then booted the hard drive (no errors about what went wrong booting the USB device. I didn’t include it in the last year’s data because I couldn’t get the ISO to boot. I’m kind of wanting to spend some time with Linux Lite. But, I’m finding it fun to “speed date” distros, get a quick impression. It’s interesting to see how that differs (and how it’s not a consistent difference. Windows users who find Rufus confusing can also use Etcher, as the tool is also available for Windows.This time I collected mem use on both real & virtual machines. Etcher doesn't have many settings, but it works well the overwhelming majority of the time. Like Rufus, Etcher is tiny, very fast, and comes with a great GUI that makes the tool incredibly simple to use. Linux and macOS users should use Etcher, an open-source USB-burning tool. Furthermore, Rufus can detect the type of ISO you are attempting to burn and apply a common setup for any tiny Linux distro. It has decent customization options and can automatically detect your USB flash drive. Rufus is one of the fastest, smallest, and easiest USB-burning tools available for Windows users. However, the best recommendation for Windows users will be Rufus, while Linux and macOS users should try Etcher. There are numerous tools you can use to create a bootable USB flash drive. You'll need to burn the tiny Linux distro to bootable media before doing anything else. The first thing you need is a tool to create a bootable USB flash drive. ![]() Here are nine of the smallest Linux distros that need almost no space!
