I ended up writing so much that I made an essay long reply.
Sorry for the inconvince & wait...

Yes, that makes it more comparable to MicroOS, which does the same with podman.
MicroOS is based on a more mainstream system but it's still immutable with transactional updates.
What I'm trying to ask is if the project's goal / development is being more MicroOS or more Proxmox Linux? & whether it tries be a replacement or a different workflow all together?
I see that there's a Migration Manager in beta as an install option to switch from vmware ESXi, so I wonder if other OS-level hypervisors are in the roadmap.

I know this is supposed to be compared with Vmware ESXi &or Proxmox but exclusively made for linux containers, so...
How well can it compare with MicroOS & CoreOS which rely podman instead?
I've never seen a detailed comparison between podman & incus in term of resource usage nor performance, just that podman supports docker compose & it's images.

Yeah that's nice, but that premise & use-case is already delivered,
Session does all of that, just in their own "tor-like" network;

Also session is a fork of signal without the need of a phone number, you get an "Account IDs" instantly.

Cwtch is doing the same on the Tor network itself, which is great, if tor's speed / performance is dealt with...

So, what does Cwtch do extra?? Also does it (Smoothly) support obfs4 bridges for firewalled users?

Also, website lacks some technical details, like being a rewrite (& extention of) of Ricochet as stated in their repo & Security Handbook unlike their website's homepage saying "The Cwtch protocol"...
But the Docs seems nice & the whole app would be a good option next to session, just wha else it offers?

???
No?
I said you can run way waydroid on a Wayland Desktop to natively run streaming apps on your RPI5. (Plex, Youtube, netflix or whatever service you're on)
This has nothing to do with your TV remotes nor hdmi-cec.
(reads description again) oh...

No, IR input support is now integrated into the linux kernel [BPF] & can be manually done with LIRC,
Well I don't have a RPI to test this nor use my TV remote to control media, just for volume;
Can't say for sure if Rasbarian supports most remotes ether, but LineageOS TV Does (Scroll),

Sorry, I can't help with that, however, a budget, 2.4GHz, wireless mouse was enough for me, maybe KDE Connect or Unified Remote (non-free) can help if you wanna use your phone instead.

CEC support is up to the (media) software &or OS you're using, waydroid is a container-like "runtime" to boot android on linux without virtualization, it's not a an OS that supports IR input or shutting your TV with your TV Remote, I don't think most desktop enviroment does support it nor must, KDE Bigscreen might but it's a DE tailored for such use...

So, if launching plex with your TV remote is a priority, then here's Android(TV) & a Custom Recovery (Gapps & Root Flashing) for RPI5 so you can treat it as an android box.
(unoffical tho, seems like LineageOS team into the BananaPi instead)

I wasn't going to reply, but when I thought about it, you can install wayland on top of linux.
The kind of benefit you're getting out of this is better driver support (from the kernel) & less resource usage (lightweight distro + wayland on background = 2GB~ish ram usage).
Also it'd be easier to get Gapps running (if you need it) on waydroid rather than rooting lineageOS TV to do so.
I tried it once & it was more than enough for light gaming, IDK about plex but hardware acceleration is supported since there's no VM tech utilized (nividia isn't supported tho).

Most linux distros with wayland should be enough, but check Wayland install page just to be sure it's well supported (by distro), I see void-linux & ether configured labwc or KDE plasma should fit your needs better.

Hey!
Where's invidious?? the option to self-host your web yt client??
Or just using yt-dlp?

(tho, I lightly use yt nowadays, the content is getting satire...)

I never tried it but, LibreELEC is focused for mediastreaming usage.
You just need to get confy with Kodi and it's plugins.

So more ppl are re-purposing old, legacy win7 machines despite security risk...
Completely clueless about anything linux or floss in that matter wether even if there where lighter distros with better hardware support & enough apps for everyday office needs & more.

Like win7 can't even run any UWP apps, photoshop or steam anymore.
It's great livin' in 2025

Completely out of topic but,
I just noticed that this post has more comments than upvoted 🤣

I mean, the amazon of enterprise is not the amazon of product manufacturing, Linux doesn't get usually mentioned in product applications so??

Also, sorry late reply :b

:O uhhhhm, Great!! 👍 Don't mind me, I accidentally wrote a whole blog
